The Vibrant system is composed of a flight certified Mil-Spec hardware component that physically connects to the onboard data buses as well as a modular software architecture that supports message decoding based on published Interface Control Documents (ICDs), data recording for post-mission analysis, and customized anomaly detection to support performance and health monitoring.
The data bus connections are read-only thus eliminating risk of interference with existing aircraft operations. The Vibrant system includes a 512-core NVIDIA Volta GPU, 64 Tensor Cores, and 8-core 64-bit ARM CPU and 4 TB of on-board storage to support real-time applications including on-board message decoding, data analysis and anomaly detection, data recording, critical information retrieval, and mission specific custom applications.
