Elevating the integration of hardware & software
Airborne Autonomy and Artificial Intelligence
Low Size Weight and Power (SWaP) integrated hardware and software computing platforms for automated and semi-automated aircraft and next generation powertrains. Unrivalled performance and ruggedization for the harshest operating environments
Detect & Avoid
✓ ACAS XU / XR
✓ Cooperative
✓ Non-cooperative
✓ 4 quadrant interrogator
Hover, Inc and our partner have developed a next generation Detect and Avoid (DAA) system that exceeds the performance of the competition. It includes an extremely low SWaP 4 quadrant interrogator and the Hover, Inc DAA computer which is the only low SWaP computing platform with 16GB SDRAM required to support ACAS XU / XR
ARINC 653 Real Time Operating System
For running safety critical and non-safety critical software applications simultaneously and prevents them from interfering with each other
ARINC 615A Dataloader
For uploading and downloading software applications and data quickly without removing the system from the aircraft
Integrated Development Environment
Provides all the tools necessary to certify the system and adhere to stringent FAA and EASA requirements

SYSTEM ARCHITECTURES
The family of computing platforms supports different simplex, duplex, triplex and quadraplex system architectures. Hover, Inc has guided the leading Advanced Aerial Mobility (AAM) aircraft manufacturers in the development of their system architectures which starts with a safety analysis. We have FAA Designated Engineering Representatives (DERs) on staff. Click on the aircraft for additional information
H2.0 Computer
The H2.0’s channel is monitored by a powerful challenge response safety monitor that detects and prevents erroneous behaviour. Use cases include: DAA computer
H1.0 Computer
The H1.0’s channels are monitored by a powerful challenge response safety monitor that detects and prevents erroneous behaviour. Two H1.0s can be combined to enable a quadraplex system architecture which is the preferred choice for Advanced Aerial Mobility (AAM) aircraft. Use cases include: powertrain controller, flight computer, display computer and DAA computer
Single Pilot Operations
Computers can be combined to enable safety critical human functions to be either automated or semi-automated. For example envelope protection, terrain collision avoidance and cooperative and non-cooperative intruder DAA. For aircraft operating under Part 121 or 135, they enable single pilot operations
Control
A version of the computers has the Pulse With Modulation (PWM) output and quadrature decoder and analogue input necessary to support control applications
