InspecX is a next-generation autonomous swarm inspection system for aircraft. It is addressing challenges in the $100B global aviation maintenance market. Airlines face a shortage of certified technicians, with Boeing projecting demand for over 700,000 by 2044. Aircraft-on-ground (AOG) incidents cost $10,000–$150,000 per hour, making downtime reduction critical. InspecX uses swarm coordination and LiDAR-based SLAM to perform safe inspections in GNSS-denied or indoor environments. It reduces required technicians from 9 to 3 and inspection time from 10 hours to 3, achieving over 50% cost savings for large aircraft. Beyond efficiency, InspecX helps airlines avoid AOG losses, accelerates maintenance cycles, and improves airworthiness. By maximizing fleet readiness and ensuring reliable operations, it provides a scalable, future-proof solution. InspecX is positioned to become the new global standard for aviation safety and maintenance in the era of intelligent mobility.

The SC-HPCRTM is a Rear Transition Module (RTM) designed to extend the I/O functionality of the HPC2812 high-performance computing board. It can be mounted on the rear side of the VPX backplane to enhance system connectivity and I/O flexibility. Since the HPC2812 board consists of two computing nodes, the SC-HPCRTM provides dedicated interfaces for each node, including Ethernet, USB, MMCX, and Mini-HDMI ports, ensuring optimal data communication and display output performance in mission-critical embedded systems.

Fast and Intuitive Quality Inspection With precise AR overlay technology, deviations between 3D design data and real-world objects can be identified instantly. This enables fast and accurate quality inspections on the spot. Optimized and Lightweight 3D File Processing Supports the four most popular 3D file formats: FBX, GLTF, OBJ, and STL. Lightweight processing ensures faster matching and smoother inspection workflows. From Inspection to Report — All in One Inspection results can be recorded and documented with image captures, drawings, and notes. Final reports can be exported in PDF, XLS, or CSV formats, making them easy to share and manage.

Designed to deliver the highest level of performance, the non-ITAR TAC-450-360 IMU includes our exclusive photonic integrated chip (PIC) technology. The high-performance TAC-450-360 IMU is designed for applications in which high bandwidth, low latency, and low drift are critical. The TAC-450-360 IMU is integrated with inertial-grade accelerometers and three axes of magnetometers to provide the high accuracy levels that leading autonomous and manned platforms demand. Highlights Designed for ease of integration with flexible interface settings and programmable message outputs Excellent performance in critical applications and the specs that matter most Improved SWaP plus robust performance and survivability Technology Details Photonic Integrated Chip Technology EMCORE’s photonic integrated chip (PIC) technology* reimagines FOG technology by replacing individual fiber components with an innovative integrated planar optic chip. This results in a FOG with PIC Inside™ that’s reliable and robust. With three of these integrated photonic gyros at its core, the TAC-450-360 IMU provides the safe, accurate performance autonomous platforms demand.

The Aerospace & Defense Team's Business Service Providers (BSP) Directory is designed to help U.S. aerospace & defense companies identify professional service providers to assist them in the assessment, completion, and/or financing of an export transaction.

Digital mission engineering tools connect every stage of the engineering product lifecycle, from initial design to operation. They enable reality-based 3D simulation across multi-domain environments such as air, space, land, and sea by incorporating high-resolution terrain, satellite orbits, RF and radar systems, and sensor environments to accurately replicate real mission conditions. With accurate dynamics-based physical models at the core, these tools provide quantitative analysis of relative positioning between systems, changes in altitude and attitude, line-of-sight availability, and communication link status. Users can predict and evaluate mission elements such as sensor operations, communication links, platform maneuvers, and orbit optimization through scenario-based simulations.

The First & Only Autonomous AI Pilot Deployed Since 2018

Similar to a human pilot, Hivemind reads and reacts to the battlefield, and does not require GPS, waypoints, or comms to make decisions. Hivemind enables intelligent teams to perform missions ranging from room clearance with Novas, penetrating air defense systems with V-BATs, to dogfighting F-16s.

Intelligent Teaming

Shield AI’s synthetic environments combined with human-machine tactics and behaviors. Testing and learning in real physics simulations reduces engineering cycle times and enables rapid real-world deployment. Welcome to the defense metaverse.

Edge Autonomy

The aircraft uses sensors to create a map or world-view, the computer then tells the aircraft or autopilot where to go and what to do to execute its mission. No GPS, no waypoints, and no comms are needed for aircraft to accomplish their missions.

Liquid Measurement Systems (LMS) provides fuel gauging and interface controls for service, maintenance, and flight crew personnel, at the primary refuel point on the aircraft.

External Refuel Preselect Panels can display the quantity of fuel in each tank, calculate the total quantity of fuel onboard, allow service teams to pre-select desired fuel quantity, and display fault codes. LMS’ external refuel preselect panels are compact, lightweight, and rugged systems that can be adapted to a variety of platforms.
