Boeing FCE (flight control electronics) on the left and the Reliable Robotics Corporation Autoflight System on the right. These components form the core of our fault-tolerant autonomous flight architecture. Note: The left photo only depicts a single channel of control electronics (there are actually three copies of these components per aircraft). Our photo is the whole system.
Our CEO Robert Rose had the opportunity to speak about aviation safety and advanced automation during the IAOPA World Assembly last week in D.C. "The biennial event provides a valuable opportunity for the global aviation community to come together to share insights and discuss the latest challenges, opportunities, and developments impacting general aviation, and to have a unified voice before civil aviation authorities."

Reliable Robotics welcomes final congressional passage of comprehensive legislation to reauthorize the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for the next five years. This bipartisan bill positions the United States to lead in the development of aviation safety-enhancing technologies and remote piloting. The legislation provides the tools, direction and resources that the dedicated FAA workforce needs to certify safety-enhancing technologies and successfully integrate them into the National Airspace System. Reliable's VP of Legislative Affairs, Scott O'Brien details key provisions in the bill, including the Advanced Aviation Technology and Innovation Steering Committee, in a new blog post.

Reliable Robotics has announced completion of a KC-135 Stratotanker automation study for the United States Air Force. The study was commissioned by the USAF as part of a SBIR Phase III contract to examine in detail how Reliable’s aircraft-agnostic autonomous flight system would be integrated into large multi-engine aircraft. The report was presented to Air Mobility Command (AMC) leadership earlier this year. “The Air Force is continually innovating, and autonomy will be a key enabler for global missions and agile combat employment,” said Col. Lisa Nemeth, deputy director of strategy, plans, requirements and programs at Air Mobility Command A5/8. With nearly 400 in operation, the KC-135 Stratotanker serves a crucial role in meeting the refueling and air mobility needs of the Air Force. Bringing remotely piloted operations to the KC-135 will enable increased operational tempo, innovative logistics capabilities, enhanced readiness and significantly lower operational costs. “Automating the KC-135 for refueling, cargo transport and joint operations with coalition military forces will allow pilots and crew to focus on higher-complexity tasks,” Nemeth said. Reliable’s success in USAF demonstrations and industry-leading Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) certification progress make the company uniquely positioned to rapidly deliver a transformational KC-135 automation capability to the United States Department of Defense.

ASL Airlines has placed a deposit-backed order for 30 units of the Reliable autonomous flight system for the Cessna 208B Caravan. “We are constantly developing and upgrading our capabilities to match and anticipate our customers’ requirements. Automating the Caravan with Reliable’s technology will enable ASL to deliver safe and reliable air cargo transport services at lower operating cost to our express freight, postal and e-commerce retailer customers,” said ASL Aviation Holdings Director, Hugh Flynn. https://lnkd.in/gQnPP2xu #AviationSafety #Automation #Innovation
Through collaboration with the United States Air Force, findings indicate that Reliable’s commercial technology can be scaled to automate all phases of the KC-135 Stratotanker operation including taxi, takeoff and landing, while continuing to mature automation of the refueling boom. Reliable presented the roadmap to senior members of Air Mobility Command as part of a funded study. https://lnkd.in/gsyHdmtW #Aviation #Automation #AFWERX #AFRL
