VIBRANT

​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.

Key Vibrant Features and Functions: ​

• AI-powered onboard message decoding based on dynamic interpretation of Interface Control Documents (ICDs).
• Advanced onboard analytics engines utilizing AI/ML algorithms to process and analyze decoded message data in real-time.
• Cloud-integrated data archiving solutions for seamless storage and retrieval of collected data from multiple platforms and electronic subsystems.
• Modular, open computing architecture designed to support third-party software applications for specialized analytics and mission-specific tasks.
• Scalable software framework compatible with evolving communication protocols and emerging bus standards.
• Real-time data distribution services enabling custom software applications to perform targeted analysis with both Line-of-Sight (LOS) and Beyond-Line-of-Sight (BLOS) transmission capabilities.
• Software-managed Ethernet interfaces for seamless connectivity to testing tools and support equipment.
