Daedalean Steps Up Autonomous Flight Control Efforts
Artificial intelligence specialist Daedalean has raised further capital to support efforts to develop DAL-A autopilots to support autonomous aircraft.

Backed by a new round of funding completed this month, Swiss artificial intelligence start-up Daedalean is pressing ahead with plans to develop what it claims will be the first certifiable DAL-A level autopilot system to support autonomous aircraft operations. Design assurance levels (DALs) are used by aviation authorities to define safety criticality of a software application. The Zurich-based company is aiming for a DAL-C autopilot solution that will support pilots as an interim step to full autonomy.
