AUVSI New England are proud to present an Unmanned Insight event that focuses on next generation capabilities to help certify your platform and avionic systems. 

Leveraging novel concepts and looking to the future of NLP and A.I.
to change the game for embedded software test and certification
in order to meet with increasing demands,
time to market goals, and shrinking budgets

Automotive or Aircraft systems today are becoming increasingly complex; continuing to migrate away from analog/mechanical elements and into a digital space. As people surrender more control to these systems, and the autonomous function being offered, it requires more focus to be placed on the digital control applications and embedded software that guides their function. There is no room for error when life hangs in the balance, but the rigors imposed on the development and test of safety and mission critical embedded software are creating challenges across multiple industries. In particular, the legacy approach to the test and certification cannot keep up with the pace of commercialization while fitting in a shrinking budget envelope to yield desired program ROI. So, the approach to how we develop and test needs to be reconsidered. In looking at a new angle to achieve the required industry certification result, we will discuss processes and automation techniques that incorporate a Systems Approach, leverage Natural Language Processing, and consider Artificial Intelligence as an ally to decrease project timelines and software budgets; without ever sacrificing quality and the protection of the lives these products will serve.

Speakers:

• Tom Williams and Matthew Tkac, CS Communications & Systems 
  Mechanisms to capture requirements, automatically create test scenarios and plans using next generation advanced technologies.
