Eclipse Aerospace has begun flying Daedalean AI’s visual awareness system in an Eclipse 550 twinjet, testing the system’s artificial intelligence (AI)-based capabilities for detect-and-avoid traffic deconfliction. Ultimately, Daedalean’s visual awareness system will offer the traffic capability, as well as landing guidance and navigation in GPS-denied environments. 

Although this project is in the early stages of testing and not yet on a certification track, Daedalean is pursuing an FAA Part 23 supplemental type certificate (STC) for its PilotEye visual traffic detection system in partnership with Avidyne. The company is also developing a similar traffic system, Ailumina Vista, for Part 27 rotorcraft and is working on an EASA STC.
