Data associated with a flight, including a flight plan, a vehicle, and/or a pilot is processed via a risk assessment platform to obtain one of more numerical risk values, for example a ground risk value and an air risk value. Based on the processed data, a matrix of risk assessment decisions is generated containing risk related information (such as risk remediation information). Accordingly, based on a consistent set of risk relation information, a predictable and repeatable flight decision (such as a decision whether to fly, or an adjustment to a flight route) can be made. In some instances, the data to be processed is quantitative data collected from one or more third party systems, such as sensor data or geospatial data. The risk assessment platform includes toolkits or services to be used in the processing and transformation of this data to reach a risk assessment decision.

Risk assessment for unmanned aerial vehicles

A platform for unmanned traffic management (UTM) may include a compute system and infrastructure that standardizes and controls aviation data transmitted between service providers, where each service is abstracted from the platform through a service wrapper that enforces the preset data standards. The service wrappers enforce restrictions on the performance and configuration of data from the service provider. The service wrappers are customized to respective services (such as tracking, terrain, or weather), but provide a standard point of interface, security, and trust between the platform and any services directed to provide a similar function. Upon the request of a user or service providers to obtain aviation data, the UTM platform selects a service providing that aviation data, and provides connection data to the user while protecting the security and integrity of the data. Computationally-intensive tasks that require data from supporting services can be bundled or grouped together as a single service with a service wrapper providing a single point of interface. Bundled services can be designed to as to maintain verifiability and/or safety-criticality of the data passed therethrough.

Secure microservice architecture for unmanned air traffic management

A system (and a method) are disclosed for reliably disseminating a state of a node in a large network consisting of nodes with constrained resources. The system comprises a process embodied by a state machine comprised of an advertise state, a request state, and a share state. The system processes input events, mutates its internal state, and outputs side effects. The outputs from one node in the network may become inputs events to one or more other nodes in the network. Viral dissemination is an emergent behavior across the nodes in a network that all independently and continuously perform these input processings, state mutations, and output side effects.

Efficient broadcast of data in a communication network

A pervasive computing system comprises a set of client devices and a network of small computing units, referred to as nodes. The client devices and nodes run programs that communicate with each other to solve a given problem, but the client devices and the nodes use different software execution environments and protocols. A host server acts as an intermediary between the client devices and the nodes, bridging the gap between the different software execution environments and protocols of the client devices and the nodes.
