In high workload situations, pilot cognitive bandwidth might fall short of the requirement to safely fly and complete the mission

OwlVision reduces workload.

The Problem for Pilots

Problems in detail

  • DVE

    From 2002 to 2020, DVEs were responsible for over 80% of fatalities in Army aviation accidents.

  • Bird Strike

    Between 2016 and 2021, there were over 270,000 reported bird strikes. In the US alone, there are more than 13,000 bird strikes each year.

  • Runway Incursion

    In 2022, the FAA reported 1,732 runway incursions, up from 1,574 in 2021. Between October and December of 2023, there were 437 runway incursions at airports.

  • Mid-air Collision

    Since 1978, there has been an average of 30 mid-air collisions in the United States each year resulting in 75 deaths annually. In addition, there are over 450 near mid-air collisions reported each year.

  • Wire Collision

    Striking wires results in fatalities in approximately 30% of the accidents. Number of flight hours is not a guarantee for avoiding wires.

OwlVision for Pilots

OwlVision tracks both ground and aerial vehicles. It recognizes runway markings and detects any potential obstacles to prevent collisions. This system proactively sends alerts when necessary, reducing the likelihood of runway incursions. By integrating these functionalities, OwlVision delivers enhanced pilot navigation in times of need.

  • OwlVision assists pilots as another set of eyes, enhancing situational awareness and reducing the risk of collisions, ensuring a safer flying experience.

  • OwlVision leverages image processing and machine learning algorithms to continuously scan the horizon, identifying air, ground, and water vehicles in real-time.

  • OwlVision employs cutting-edge computer vision technology designed to identify runway signs and display them to the pilots to ensure all signs are identified, geolocating the aircraft within the airport environment

  • OwlVision uses radar technology to sense moving objects in close proximity to help pilots navigate with greater confidence and precision.

  • "I was cleared for takeoff in a Bonanza. I thought I saw something in the distance, so I hesitated, then aborted. There was an Airbus that I could have collided with. I still get goosebumps when I remember it."

    Spirit Airlines Captain

  • "One of my school’s Cessna 152 taxi into a Cessna 172. A warning system would have saved me much time and money."

    Flight School Owner

  • "Transcribing radio into text would be huge. One of the biggest issues when busy."

    Jet Blue First Officer

  • "The most frightening thing that happened a few times is when on the runway in a service check in a car and ATC clears an aircraft to land on the same runway."
