Alert prioritisation
Definition of alert prioritisation
Alert Prioritisation is the process of evaluating and ranking alerts based on their significance, urgency, or potential impact. It involves assessing the alerts generated by tracking systems and sensor data, in order to identify which alerts require immediate attention and which can be addressed later or are of lower importance.
This involves the use of algorithms and criteria that may consider factors such as proximity, potential collision risk, historical data, and the nature of the objects involved. In space situational awareness contexts, effective alert prioritisation is crucial for decision-making processes related to collision avoidance, risk management, and ensuring the safety and sustainability of space operations.
Why alert prioritisation matters for operations
Alert prioritisation is essential to prevent operator overload as the number of conjunctions, fragmentation events, and anomalous behaviors grows, especially for constellation operations. By ranking alerts by urgency and potential impact, teams can focus analyst time and maneuver windows on the events that most affect mission safety, service continuity, and regulatory compliance.
It also improves coordination across stakeholders by ensuring that critical events trigger timely escalation, while lower-risk cases are monitored without disrupting operations.
How Look Up supports alert prioritisation
Look Up supports alert prioritisation by detecting and tracking objects with SORASYS radars and fusing multi-source data in SYNAPSE to maintain a timely space picture. SYNAPSE characterizes events, predicts collision risk, and issues real-time alerts, helping operators triage what needs action versus monitoring.
For high-priority cases, Look Up provides collision avoidance support with tailored maneuver recommendations aligned with mission constraints.
We deliver space situational awareness (SSA) and space domain awareness (SDA) solutions that help secure active satellites and ensure safe operations in the ever-growing expanse of space.
