Research abstract

Beacon AI is building an AI assistant (AI Copilot) to enable piloted aircraft to fly in a safer and more efficient manner. In this research project we intend to advance the state of the art for pilot monitoring systems while integrating a system to improve flight safety and operational efficiency. The pilot monitoring system would be integrated into our edge compute platform, further enhanced by machine learning/artificial intelligence software features. Beacon AI’s technology has a large commercial market in both pilot monitoring systems and in AI assistance to pilots. We are venture backed by leading technology funds and industry giants like JetBlue Technology Ventures. Through the proposed research we will partner with AFWERX, AFRL, and SOCOM to deploy robust systems to fill existing technology gaps.
