Research abstract

We solved DAF aviation performance and risk management by creating novel machine learning models and intuitive data displays that benefit aircrew and leadership. We will receive profit by charging unit level customization and licensing fees to get mission specific applications and ongoing support. The CSAF calls upon us to adapt, accelerate change, and move with purpose. The urgency of this is evidenced by the loss of 224 aircrew, 186 aircraft, and a staggering $11.6 billion dollars in aircraft value due to aviation mishaps since 2007. The overwhelming majority of those mishaps were attributed to aircrew error and high unit and personnel tempos that place wear and tear on aircrew. While risk management is performed for every sortie, the current risk management tools are simply inadequate to accurately assess, identify, and manage the complex risks associated with military aviation. Elite Flight will disrupt the way risk management is done and save lives. Elite Flight’s ability to generate insight into the performance and operational risk posture of units is unparalleled thanks to our machine learning, digital integrations, and background knowledge as previous Air Force pilots, weapons systems officers, and air battle managers.
