Independent system bridging the gap between full Pilot control, auto-Pilot, and fully autonomous. Modern vehicles use Fly-By-Wire systems which utilize advanced data bus architecture to capture and transmit hundreds of events each second between all onboard systems as well as operators’ actions and behavior. This provides a full digital image of the entire airframe, a treasure trove for the Intelligent Co-Pilot. By monitoring commands passed to all systems, the Intelligent Co-Pilot develops a deep understanding of how a platform is operated. The system uses the learned behavior of the collective to understand context and situation-based risk parameters and provide early detection of event sequences that escalate risk of catastrophic incidents.
