The South African Astronomical Observatory (SAAO) has embarked on an ambitious initiative to upgrade its telescopes, instruments, and data analysis capabilities, facilitating their intelligent integration and seamless coordination. This endeavour aims not only to improve efficiency and agility but also to unlock exciting scientific possibilities within the realms of multi-messenger and time-domain astronomy. The program encompasses hardware enhancements enabling autonomous operations, complemented by the development of sophisticated software solutions. Intelligent algorithms have been meticulously crafted to promptly and autonomously respond to real-time alerts from telescopes worldwide and space-based observatories. Overseeing this sophisticated framework is the Observatory Control System, actively managing the observing queue in real-time. This presentation will provide a summary of the program’s notable achievements thus far, with a specific focus on the successful completion and full operational readiness of one of the SAAO telescopes.
