The Reliable autonomous flight system fully automates an aircraft through all phases of operation including taxiing, take-off and landing, allowing it to be operated remotely by a pilot in a ground station.
The system is aircraft agnostic, has multiple layers of redundancy and advanced navigation technology to improve safety and achieve levels of integrity and reliability necessary for uncrewed flight.
It will help prevent controlled flight into terrain and loss of control in flight, which account for the majority of fatal aviation accidents.
Hugh Flynn, Director of ASL Aviation Holdings, says, “We are constantly developing and upgrading our capabilities to match and anticipate our customers’ requirements. Automating the Caravan with Reliable’s technology will enable ASL to deliver safe and reliable air cargo transport services at a lower operating cost to our express freight, postal and e-commerce retailer customers.”
Myles Goeller, Chief Business Officer of Reliable Robotics, adds, “ASL and Reliable will work together to deliver automated air cargo services for the largest global buyers of air cargo capacity, in turn providing more goods to more people in more places. This will start with the Cessna C208B Caravan, and then we intend to bring advanced automation to a range of aircraft to meet industry needs.”
