About this report
KP Labs is quietly reshaping Europe’s space technology landscape. This Polish deep-tech venture, based in Gliwice, has pioneered a way for satellites to think on orbit – a breakthrough with far-reaching strategic implications.
Founded in 2016 by young engineers from the Silesian University of Technology, the company develops onboard computers and AI software that allow satellites to analyze data in space rather than relay every bit to Earth. Its flagship product, the Leopard data processing unit, can filter and interpret imagery in real time, enabling a satellite to recognize targets or anomalies autonomously.
Key questions this report answers
- How does KP Labs' Leopard data-processing unit let satellites analyse imagery on orbit and recognise targets or anomalies autonomously?
- How does onboard AI reduce dependence on downlinking every bit to Earth?
- How mature is the Gliwice firm's onboard-processing technology?
- What are KP Labs' capability gaps, dependencies and strategic indicators?
