Software developer Daedalean is making inroads on development of artificial intelligence (AI) tools that power pilot assistance and eventually autonomous flight operations. These tools will be incorporated into upcoming avionics products and aircraft.

Daedalean uses the term “situational intelligence” to describe how its AI tools will help pilots. What Daedalean is not doing is creating “this massive AI brain, and out comes this magical situational intelligence,” said Luuk van Dijk, founder and CEO of the Switzerland-based company. “We have to work within the bounds of certifiability. We’ll use it for functions that are hard to capture in traditional software.”
