Artificial intelligence (AI) specialist Daedalean is teaming with Avidyne to develop a flight deck vision system for the general aviation, advanced air mobility, and special missions markets. Announcing the partnership at this week’s EAA AirVenture show, the companies said the AI-based PilotEye system will provide pilot “advisories” for the flight crew of existing fixed-wing aircraft and helicopters, while being ready to support fully autonomous operations in new designs, including eVTOL models.
According to Avidyne, the system will use cameras to scan for traffic and other airborne hazards, and also handle tasks such as identifying suitable places to land in the event of an emergency. Employing Daedalean’s AI software, it will use multiple, redundant guidance sources that could support autonomous operations. The system can incorporate other data sources and merge everything into a single intuitive display.
