ResilienX has been awarded a Phase III Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) contract, enabling the company to work closely with NASA’s System-Wide Safety (SWS) project.
This collaboration with NASA’s SWS project, itself aimed at advancements in future highly-autonomous aviation systems and aircraft’s safety and resilience, intends to produce a more mature capability, by integrating NASA developed information services which address safety risks associated with relevant hazards.
Integration will use ResilienX’s industry leading in-time aviation safety management systems (IASMS) platform, FRAIHMWORK, which can help to underpin the safety assurance of future advanced air mobility (AAM) ecosystems.
Andrew Carter, CEO of ResilienX, Inc. stated, “We are honored and excited to receive this Phase III SBIR contract and to continue our collaboration with NASA’s SWS project team. We’ve enjoyed a close relationship with NASA around IASMS development, from early concept of operations development to years of R&D and commercialization of the concepts. This program gives NASA a platform to discover and resolve challenges of technology transfer, identify where standards may be needed, and leverage numerous features of our platform that they do not have to develop themselves.
“For ResilienX, we can access NASA developed technology and deploy it to commercial environments. This program is a first step to leverage innovative NASA technology within the emerging IASMS realm, out of the lab and into application, where it can more directly and rapidly make our future skies safer.”
Dr. Steven Young, SWS sub-project manager for IASMS capabilities for emerging operations, added, “Working with ResilienX aligns extremely well with our project’s goal to investigate, develop, test, evaluate, and apply safety risk mitigation solutions for the rapidly evolving aviation landscape.
“Their expertise and innovative approach to safety assurance will be invaluable as we work together to address the challenges and opportunities presented by future classes of increasingly-autonomous aviation systems and aircraft.”
This SBIR contract follows ResilienX’s successful completion of multiple previous awards, where the company exemplified significant progress in developing IASMS technologies to further the safety and reliability of uncrewed aerial systems (UAS) and AAM operations.
