SeRo Systems
Founder Markus Fuchs, Matthias Schäfer
Category Aviation
Location Kaiserslautern, Germany
Product

SeRo Systems has developed an integrity monitoring system for improving both safety and security of ADS-B, aiming at providing military-grade security to civil air traffic surveillance. This is becoming particularly important as ADS-B usage is becoming mandatory throughout the world. The GRX1090 sensor developed by SeRo Systems combines the flexibility and capabilities of software-defined radios with a high-end Mode S/ADS-B sensor. It has a 600km coverage range, Hertz-precision frequency and nanosecond-precision time of arrival measurements.

Clarvoyant
Founder Matthew Clausen, Charles Goddard
Category Enabling technologies
Location Pasadena, CA
Product

Clarvoyant develops a computer model visualization platform based on holographic reality augmentation. The system can be used for any kind of computer-aided engineering model, allowing full-size holographic model replication with detailed technical insights. Clarvoyant can also be used to implement VR on websites for e-commerce applications.

AnsuR
Founder Harald Skinnemoen
Category Enabling technologies
Location Fomebu, Norway
Product

AnsuR helps users communicate high precision visual content using a minimum of bandwidth. AnsuR software allows the receiver of audio-visual content to interact with the original data at the sender side, and focus network resources on sending operationally relevant content. Additionally, video encoders can adapt the rate of coding to unknown network capacity, using feedback from the receiver and finally allows senders to be connected to several types of networks simultaneously. Solutions specifically support mobile satellite communications.

Paladin AI
Founder Adolfo Klassen, Mikhail Klassen
Category Data-driven adaptive pilot training using AI
Location Montreal, Canada
Product

Paladin AI uses artificial intelligence to develop competency-based training systems for aviation. Their cloud-hosted analytics platform, InstructIQTM, allows training providers to access
insights into their trainee’s development and increase the effectiveness of their curricula. Paladin AI integrates with existing training devices (flight simulators) to combine millions of data points and use machine learning algorithms to extract competency metrics, predict future trainee aptitudes, and optimize training delivery.
