POLARIS AERO LLC — National Aeronautics and Space Administration SBIR Phase I: A3

Description

Polaris Aero is proposing research to revolutionize aviation Safety Management. Polaris Aero is proposing the modification of their proactive aviation Safety Management System (SMS) to a predictive SMS using Artificial intelligence and Machine Learning (AI/ML). The key to aviation safety is not just capturing data to find trends but to understand what the data represents, how they relate to each other and provide actionable insights to mitigate risks. Providing the right information and risk mitigation measure before an incident occurs will save time, resources, and lives. Modifying Polarisrsquo; VOCUS Safety Intelligence Platform with AI/ML will provide faster, more reliable actionable insights based on the large amounts of data generated by the aviation community. VOCUS centers around the Safety Management System which pushes and pulls data to applications used by pilots, schedulers, and maintainers for daily activities. An AI/ML enhanced VOCUS platform will find safety trends, relationships, and mitigation measures faster and more accurately than relying on just safety officers. AI generated mitigation measures can automatically be presented back to the pilots and maintainers through VOCUS applications used for daily tasks.nbsp;
