Stouffville, ON, Canada / Klein-Winternheim, Germany - July 3rd, 2024 - SYSGO, the leading European provider of embedded software solutions for real-time operating systems, and WOLF Advanced Technology, a pioneer in rugged video modules for aerospace and defense, are pleased to announce their strategic technology partnership. This collaboration aims to revolutionize the landscape of autonomous systems in aerospace, defense, and transportation by integrating advanced hardware and software solutions designed to meet the highest certification standards of safety and security.
WOLF is specialized in the design and manufacturing of rugged modules, including 6U VPX, 3U VPX, XMC, MXM/MXC, and other small form factor modules for video capture, processing, encoding, display, and AI inference. Their cutting-edge technology is a natural complement to SYSGO’s real-time operating system, PikeOS, renowned for robustness in safety-critical and security-critical applications. The companies can leverage their strengths to create a certifiable software/hardware platform that supports complex autonomous systems.
A significant use case for this partnership is in the domain of trusted autonomy. By integrating AI-driven solutions, the joint platform can enhance the processing of data from multiple sensors, enabling autonomous vehicles to perform minimal risk maneuver and coordinate with other systems in e.g. the Future Combat Air System (FCAS). This integration could support manned and unmanned flying capabilities, employing AI, machine learning, and swarming technology to control drones and other autonomous systems. In addition to autonomous vehicles, SYSGO and WOLF can explore applications in electronic warfare, specifically in the area of Retrial Augmented Generation (RAG). This involves the multi-modal search of the electromagnetic landscape, translating conversations across different frequencies and languages over extended periods. The advanced AI capabilities can allow users to pinpoint the greatest concentrations of activity and understand the communication dynamics.
"The collaboration between SYSGO and WOLF Advanced Technology represents a significant advancement in the development of autonomous systems", says Lindsey Chapman, VP Global Sales & Partnerships at WOLF Advanced Technology. "By combining state-of-the-art hardware and software, the partnership can deliver innovative solutions that enhance safety, security, and performance in critical applications", adds Franz Walkembach, VP Marketing & Alliances at SYSGO.
