Adaptive Cockpit

Roadmap Overview

Focuses on the integration of artificial intelligence, particularly machine learning, into safety-critical aviation systems while maintaining the highest standards of safety and trustworthiness. It encompasses a phased approach, starting with human assistance/augmentation (Level 1 AI), progressing to human-AI teaming (Level 2 AI), and ultimately advancing to more automated solutions (Level 3 AI). Key aspects include developing AI assurance frameworks, addressing human factors in AI integration, implementing safety risk mitigation strategies, and ensuring compliance with evolving regulatory requirements. This technology aims to enhance aviation safety, efficiency, and performance across various domains including aircraft design and operation, air traffic management, and unmanned aircraft systems.
