Daedalean AI

More than 10,000 aircraft descended upon EAA AirVenture in Oshkosh this year. And we set up our AI-enhanced visual detection system on the ground to detect them. Here are a few clips, sped up by 500%, showing remarkable, if predictable, performance: •Aircraft that the system had never seen were detected. •The system had no problem ignoring cars and people on the ground. •Birds passing through the field of view were tracked, just as the system was designed to do. To explain it all, Daedalean's Head of Data, Ad Eberhard, took to the Oshkosh stage for a talk (https://xmrrwallet.com/cmx.plnkd.in/dZ54HYdS) detailing the rigorous collection, analysis, and management of visual data that feeds the AI-enhanced system. He also revealed why Daedalean has commenced a flight campaign to record footage from all 84 American and 44 European ecoregions on its way to gathering similar data from around the world. And why flight safety will improve because of it. Thank you to the heroic AirVenture organizers for yet another magnificent event. Looking forward to next year already! #ArtificialIntelligence #AviationSafety

Myth busting was in full effect at AIAA Aviation today in Las Vegas. Daedalean's Yemaya Bordain moderated a panel that addressed several persistent misunderstandings surrounding #AI assurance and how a system with an AI-enhanced component can be certified in aviation. Audience members were given the chance to upvote among ten leading myths, making this an interactive session responding in real time to attendees' concerns and curiosity. Thank you to Darren Cofer (Collins Aerospace), Kim Wasson (Joby Aviation), Natasha Neogi (NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration), and Robert (Bob) Voros (Merlin) for their thoughtful insight. Thanks as well to Jim Sherman and Monique Alabi of AIAA for running a tight ship and an engaging conference. Stay tuned to see the full session, which will be available from AIAA soon! What are your thoughts on AI assurance and the certification of AI-enhanced systems? #ArtificialIntelligence #Aerospace #AviationSafety

"Pilots are here to stay". Watch the full version of this podcast at https://xmrrwallet.com/cmx.plnkd.in/dx5BwSdx, where Daedalean CEO Bas Gouverneur explains how #AI benefits #aerospace safety, allowing #pilots to focus on the mission. Thanks to Hangar X Studios and John Ramstead, CPLC, ACC, for this conversation from this winter at VERTICON (formerly HAI HELI-EXPO) and the insightful questions!

A treasure trove of aircraft to detect at #Oshkosh! A team from Daedalean set up the Visual Detection System to record the myriad aircraft types flying in to the EAA AirVenture 2025. This formation of L-39 Albatrosses adds to Daedalean's ever growing dataset of aircraft. Data is central to the effectiveness of #AI. Tomorrow, Daedalean's Head of Data, Ad Eberhard (with his newly minted PPL(H) license!) will explain why when he delves into the data collection and annotation process in a talk entitled "Training AI to see like a Pilot." Tuesday, July 22, at 4:00 PM Forum Stage 1 Hope to see you there!

We see demand coming up for counter-drone activities, where we also use the same technology and benefit from the certifications because we have assured AI and can actually assure that it’s always giving the same output for a given input and make sure it reaches its target. We are benefiting basically from the material that we have developed for the civil side of aviation, and the USP of Daedalean is to really assure it is doing the right thing.” - Bas Gouverneur in the interview to AeroTime at Paris Air Show, June 2025.

#AI certification is clouded by myths—but not for long. Next week at #AIAA Aviation in Las Vegas, a distinguished panel will tackle the misconceptions head-on. And we’re excited to announce that the #FAA’s Trung Pham, Chief Scientist and Technical Advisor for Artificial Intelligence – Machine Learning, will be among the experts taking part in the conversation. AI Certification: Busting the Myth Thursday, July 24th 3:30pm - 5:00pm Caesars Forum - Las Vegas Academy 407 See you there!

How do you train AI to see like a pilot? At EAA #OSH25 next week, Daedalean engineer Ad Eberhard will walk through the challenges of teaching AI to interpret the sky the way a human pilot does — recognizing runways, spotting other aircraft, and even navigating by looking at landscape features below. If you're going to be in Oshkosh, come hear his talk to find out how #AI is shaping the future of pilot support and autonomous flight.

GPS (or, more accurately, GNSS) is vulnerable. A new report from SeRo Systems GmbH documents widespread #GNSS jamming and spoofing incidents across the Baltics and Central Europe, underscoring the growing risks to aviation safety. One promising response: Daedalean's visual navigation system, designed as a GNSS-independent backup. Recently, Moog Inc. successfully integrated and flight-tested this system, demonstrating hands-free navigation—no satellite-based navigation required. (https://xmrrwallet.com/cmx.plnkd.in/dHSpxJHV). The threat is real — and so are the solutions. #AviationSafety #GPS

We were honored that our VP of Product, Joschka Hoefling, was invited to sit down with Jason Pritchard of eVTOL Insights at the International Paris Air Show for a great conversation on the present and future of certifiable AI in aviation. Joschka shared how Daedalean is turning years of R&D into real-world, safety-critical capabilities. Catch the full interview to hear how we're developing Situational Intelligence--#AI that works. #ArtificialIntelligence #AviationSafety

GPS spoofing isn’t a future threat—it’s a current reality. A recent incident involved an airliner's navigation system being spoofed on final approach into Warsaw. The aircraft’s ground proximity warning system was so disoriented, it kept shouting “PULL UP” even at the gate. Amusing? Maybe. Alarming? Definitely. This event highlights the vulnerability of GPS. The industry needs robust, GPS-independent solutions. Now. Daedalean’s visual positioning technology offers a proven alternative, enabling safe, accurate navigation in GPS-denied environments. And it's just one part of Daedalean's Situational Intelligence. Check it out at our web site: daedalean.ai #AviationSafety
