Strategic Data Sets
- Review and classify vintage magnetic tapes
- Determine formats
- Assess tape condition for recovery
- Develop metadata from recorded waveforms
- Define process for AI-ready workflow
- Identify appropriate commercial recovery providerMonitor recovery process
- Benchmark results
- Develop extreme-recovery plans for any tapes deemed not commercially recoverable
- Create digital surrogates to preserve the magnetic state of deteriorating tapes
Strategic Data Set Examples
Nuclear Test Monitoring
- Recover legacy seismic tapes
- Enable AI-based re-analysis
- Eastern Bloc formats
Intelligence Archives (Magnetic Tape)
- Data sets that cannot be moved
- Inter-track gap analysis
- Erasure verification
- Signal reconstruction
Sensor, Telemetry, Surveillance Data
- Environmental, astronomical reference recordings
- Historic flight, weapons tests
- Wideband signal, imagery, audio
Data Sets for Diplomacy
Access to unique, leading-edge legacy recovery services and
equipment can be used by diplomats to negotiate data access
for mutual benefit
Sovereign AI
