Reliable Robotics

Reliable Robotics makes an autonomy system for aircraft. The company calls it the Reliable Autonomy System. The site says the system is a flight control system that automates all phases of aircraft operation. Those phases include taxi, takeoff, en route flight and landing. The site says the system is designed for safety and certifiability.

The system adds high integrity navigation, precision flight controls, secure communications, radar and fault tolerant computing to a type certified aircraft. The site says this allows autonomous flight operations. It also says the system is aircraft and airspace agnostic, which means it is not limited to one aircraft type or one airspace. The site says it suits commercial and military uses.

The flight controls use triple redundant hardware and software. The site says this enables complete automation of all flight control surfaces and engine controls. The brakes are electromechanically actuated. The site says they allow full gate to gate taxi control and advanced autoland. It says they help prevent runway excursions on a variety of surfaces.

The site describes a remote pilot who supervises the aircraft from a control station. Redundant voice and data links connect the remote pilot to the aircraft. The site says this supports integration with air traffic control and service 24/7 worldwide. Communications also include remote radio management.

The system includes an AESA radar for air to air detection and ACAS X technology. The site says these let the aircraft see and avoid other airspace users, which improves safety under the rules. Precision navigation uses proprietary algorithms that combine commercially available sensors. The site says they give high accuracy position, velocity and orientation through all phases of flight.

The site describes a 4 dimensional, terrain aware flight planning system. It says the flight management system supports remote supervision in planned and unplanned conditions. The site has a short video and a job board for people who want to help build the system. The site lists no address, phone number or social accounts.
