TL;DR Summary

NASA has developed an AI-based early warning system called DAGGER that can provide 30 minutes' notice before a potentially devastating solar storm hits a specific area. By analyzing solar storm data from satellites and surface-based stations, DAGGER can predict the severity and direction of a solar storm event in under a second, with the capability of making predictions every minute. This advancement in speed and global coverage allows utility and communication companies to integrate DAGGER into their threat assessment systems before the peak of the 11-year solar cycle in 2025.
