This is a good article on the use of AI and blockchain to improve aircraft parts tracking. The article speaks to the interoperability of the new technologies being made available to the MRO ecosystem today - some quotes from the article AFI KLM E&M and Parker Aerospace Group have rolled out a blockchain-based platform for back-to-birth tracking and tracing of aircraft parts. Using the SkyThread for Parts data sharing platform, the companies are tracking hundreds of thousands of Boeing 787 parts. “This is a significant milestone for the aviation industry. Never have an operator and a Tier 1 OEM been able to share this depth of data,” says Jeff Smith, head of digital product programs at Parker Aerospace Group. “By leveraging blockchain technology, we can establish a comprehensive aircraft parts track and trace solution that ensures complete transparency and traceability of our parts.” First launched in September 2022 as a software-as-a-service solution, SkyThread for Parts is now being used by AFI KLM E&M and Parker using blockchain to implement the technology for its component services pool. According to AFI KLM E&M, SkyThread gives it access to the history of each new and repaired Parker aircraft part, which it said in a statement will “significantly reduce the number of inbound quarantined parts, streamlining the maintenance processes and ensuring uninterrupted operations.” Parker noted that the technology should reduce repair turnaround times and improve demand planning for spares and repair volumes. How do these technologies in the article relate? There are three elements required for high probability of part authentication. 1. The physical identity of the part 2. The documentation for that part 3. The part ID data and digital thread for that part Is this the part? Alitheon speaks to the use of Biometrics to validate that part. Of course, the biometrics needs to be asserted at the original birth of the part or at some point in the lifecycle where we have "high probability” that it's the original part. Otherwise, you're authenticating a false part. For example, if we remove a USM part from an aircraft it will have had no previous biometrics to compare to. There is not a back to birth on that part. What does SkyThread do to solve this problem? We will have the tail # of the part and the date installed We will have the serial # of the part We will obtain the birth record of the part from the Tier 1 OEM We will trace to birth "forward" to the current state of the part And we make this available to the biometrics providers This is the OPPOSITE of "back to birth". We will create the "FORWARD" Digital Thread for all Tier 1 parts All the startups, like SkyThread should work together to avoid creating new "holes" in the data mapping of the provenance of an aircraft part.

Benefits of Combining Tethered Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) with Unmanned Survey Vessels (USV) 🌊🚁 No matter the application, the advantages are clear: 👀 Improved ISR productivity: Aerial view on demand provides greater range for maritime domain awareness, with optional live stream via USV network. 💰 Lower Operational Costs: Save on fuel and manpower to cover a broader area for ISR. 🛡️ Enhanced Safety: Reduce exposure to hazardous marine environments for both vessel and drone operators. ⏱️ Extended Operational Hours: Tethered UAS can operate longer with tethered power, and USVs outlast regular human shifts. We've teamed with Hoverfly Technologies to explore the opportunities this powerful combination creates.

Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace has signed a contract with the Commonwealth of Australia to deliver the Joint Strike Missile (JSM) for the Lockheed Martin F-35A aircraft. The initial contract is worth about NOK 1 billion. The specific JSM capabilities enhance the advanced F-35A aircraft, creating a formidable capability against land and sea targets, and boosting Australia’s ability to strike targets from long-range. The Joint Strike Missile (JSM) has been specifically designed for internal carriage on the F-35 aircraft and provides a significant long range maritime strike and land attack capability. JSM is an air-launched strike missile and is designed to fulfill complex missions, such as Anti-surface Warfare (ASuW) and land attack. The primary targets are typically movable highly defended and high-value assets on sea, in coastal waters or on land. JSM has advanced off-board, on-board and in-flight mission planning capability and can engage targets based on a pre-defined set of Rules-of-Engagement. Development of the JSM was contracted by the Forsvarsmateriell - Norwegian Defence Materiel Agency.

Video: The SKYLIFT (TM) Vertical Take-Off and Landing (VTOL) aircraft can take off, hover, and land vertically. With SKYLIFT (TM) this is achieved through the use of thrust duct vectoring, which is the ability to manipulate the direction of the thrust from its engine(s) or motor(s) to control the attitude or angular velocity of the aircraft. This means no propellers or rotors are required on the aircraft. Most other VTOL aircraft in development are essentially just alternative fuel helicopters as they rely on rotors for lift and maneuverability. The SKYLIFT (TM) VTOL aircraft uses the principle of thrust vectoring, where the direction of the engine’s thrust is manipulated to control the vehicle’s movement. It can perform various maneuvers not available to conventional-engine aircraft and in a manner conducive to urban living. Helicopters on the other hand use rotating wings, or rotors, to generate lift and control movement. Helicopters are much slower and less fuel-efficient than fixed-wing aircraft. They also require complex mechanical systems to control the rotor blades, which leads to higher maintenance costs. Finally, there is the voluminous noise associated with mechanical rotors that make urban usage a substantive nuisance. #VTOL #SKYLIFT https://lnkd.in/gzyCfX6x #NGAD #hypersonic #airforce #usarmy #spaceforce #HYPERJet #HYPERMissile #HYPERBomber #HYPERLiner #hydrogen #aerospace #spaceflight #airsuperiority #NASA #BLACKSTAR

Similar CTP Propulsion processes observed here: referred to as C-energy Frequency Modulation (CeFM). This is 'how' FTL space travel via C-domain is achieved. CeFM is NOT based on #wormholes, space-time, or any of your physics theories. Two additional Fundamental Forces outside the Standard Model and the CTPSci Sciences are needed and required to near-instantaneously travel to other star systems - even light-year's 'jumps' at a time or to intergalactic spatial distances. Practical application: from Earth to Alpha Centauri or Proxima Centauri or other (exo)planetary star systems in under 20 seconds elapsed time: non-spatial travel. This level of advanced space travel is possible within a decade or so. #newscience #newspace #FTL #newpropulsion #exoticpropulsion #CTPSpace
