Published on February 13, 2024
TAMPA, Fla. Safety-critical software firm CoreAVI reports that Airbus completed a successful flight test of its Auto’Mate (autonomous in-flight refueling) demonstrator that uses CoreAVI’s GPU accelerated artificial intelligence (AI) software stack, including VkCore SC and ComputeCore.
During the flight test, according to the CoreAVI announcement, the Airbus Auto’Mate demonstrated air-to-air refueling operations by autonomous assets: Three personnel-directed uncrewed aerial systems (UASs -- Airbus DT-25s), with two more digital twins, were under the control of an A310 MRTT tanker using an advanced navigation suite, including AI-based detection and cooperative control technologies.
