Research abstract
The intended use of the funding is to enhance the single and dual channel computing platforms currently under development by Hover, Inc so they "can be used to offload computationally intensive tasks such as machine learning or be reconfigured to use with a computer vision system.”
Hover, Inc’s technology is adaptable for NASA’s CAS/ SWIFT requirements to run Matlab/ Simulink auto-generated code and machine learning software applications and models. Also, Hover, Inc is developing the first FAA and EASA TSO approved artificial intelligence computing platforms capable of running high safety criticality and low safety criticality software applications in parallel whilst preventing them from interfering with each other. They are the only known computing platforms that will support a certifiable Run Time Assurance (RTA) architecture such as NASA’s Expandable Variable Autonomy Architecture (EVAA).
