Description

As today’s Urban Air Mobility (UAM) systems grow in capabilities and utilization with a focus on commercial deployment, they face challenges in achieving safety certification and proving security while enabling the rapid insertion (CI/CD) of new capabilities into deployed systems and operations.  This situation is exacerbated by the inclusion of AI/ML code, which cannot be certified using DO178C. Meeting these UAM operational demands requires the following capabilities: The ability to develop, acquire, integrate and deploy unique UAM capabilities from a diverse pool of autonomous assets that support both required industry standards and regulatory demands. Streamlining safety certification of systems containing deterministic and non-deterministic (AI/ML) code for operation in both civilian airspace and urban canyons. The inclusion of DevSecOps to ensure system-wide control and security at all levels of UAM operations.   We are proposing to develop a solution that will streamline software design, development & certification for UAM, including certification support for AI (non-deterministic) code
