Aerospace Applications for Extended Reality. 

When it comes to digital transformation in aerospace, we pride ourselves on being a pioneer at the forefront of cutting-edge technologies like Digital Twins, Augmented Reality (AR), Virtual Reality (VR) and Extended Reality (XR) to revolutionize maintenance and training. Our innovative solutions integrate advanced sensor systems and digital twins to provide real-time data and predictive maintenance capabilities that improve operational efficiencies, reduce down-time and lower maintenance costs.  

Use Case

The ARrepair Digital Twin XR Platform is a no-code, configurable platform for true digital twin scalability in the manufacturing and production life cycle. With aerospace and Unmanned Aerial Systems as its initial use case, the platform operates in AR, MR, and VR modes, seamlessly integrating AI and IoT technologies. ARrepair uses a patented AI technology to ingest existing work instructions, enabling smart users to build once and deploy anywhere across any XR-enabled device or PC. The system integrates with IoT and sensor data, such as temperature and pressure, enhancing real-time monitoring of equipment. It also leverages AI for built-in Quality Assurance, ensuring accurate assembly and configuration. ARrepair includes a built-in User Analytics tool that collects critical data to support an organization’s digital thread, enabling continuous monitoring and improvement throughout the manufacturing process. 

Use Case

The AR Aircraft Wiring Maintenance Tool revolutionizes aircraft wiring installations by integrating AR and AI for enhanced efficiency and accuracy across all aircraft types. Originally developed for the U.S. Navy to meet critical Readiness requirements, the solution streamlines the identification and evaluation of wiring, improving safety and operational performance. Proven on the V22, where wiring is a major degrader due to harness conditions, the AI automatically detects wire connections and defects, enabling maintainers to troubleshoot and resolve issues faster and more effectively. With features like task verification, performance assessment, eye-tracking technology, and data analytics, it optimizes training, boosts maintenance efficiency, reduces on-the-job training hours, and enhances knowledge retention by identifying gaps and tailoring programs to user-specific needs. 

Use Case

The Simplified Intelligent Augmented Reality (SIA) Software leverages Mixed Reality to enhance aircraft corrosion prevention across six rotary and fixed-wing aircraft used by the aerospace industry, including models like the F/A-18 Super Hornet, the MV-22 and CV-22 Osprey. As the prime contractor, AVATAR developed built-in performance assessment tools to minimize skill decay and streamline refresher training. By providing AR overlays with step-by-step instructions directly on the aircraft, SIA optimizes maintenance efficiency, ensuring consistent, accurate execution while minimizing disruptive downtime. Its hardware-agnostic design supports mobile, tablet, and AR glasses, with predictive analytics enabling Condition-Based Maintenance (CBM). Features include adaptive training, on-demand job aids, real and simulated environment modes, and scalable, cost-effective sustainment through a standardized XRcreate platform. 

Use Case

The General Electric (GE) J-85 Engine Augmented Reality Maintenance Aid (ARMA) enhances the efficiency of aircraft maintenance personnel, performance and safety through a Digital Twin.  The J-85 Engine is one of GE’s most successful and longest in service military jet engines, operating in the United States Air Force’s T-38 Advanced Jet Trainer through 2035 and F-5 Fighters for both the US DoD and international FMS customers. The J-85 is also used for civilian model aircraft and the jet-dragster auto racing communities. ARMA significantly aids in Workforce Development / Human Performance by providing access to High Demand/Low-Supply resources available for training.  The J-85 ARMA is representative of available enhanced maintenance training and readiness digital twins available for operational efficiency for the Department of Defense, Maintenance Repair and Operation (MRO) and Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) maintenance training programs.  Precision AR benefits include increased knowledge and retention through 3-D Visualization, reduced time to train, reduced time to mentor, reduced time on task, near-error free results and a decrease in safety incidents.

Frequently asked questions

What are the different types of reality?

Extended Reality (XR) encompasses several immersive technologies, including Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), and Mixed Reality (MR). VR creates fully immersive digital environments that replace the user’s physical surroundings, typically experienced through a VR headset. AR overlays digital information onto the user’s view of the real world, enhancing their perception of reality through devices like smartphones, tablets, or AR glasses. MR combines elements of both VR and AR, allowing digital objects to interact with the real world and vice versa, using sensors and cameras to map the physical environment and overlay digital content.  

Implementing XR solutions can lead to significant returns on investment (ROI) by increasing productivity, reducing costs, and improving training efficiency. For example, AR and VR training programs can reduce training time by up to 91%, decrease errors to near zero, and cut waste and rework by 38%. These technologies also enhance employee retention and performance, leading to long-term cost savings and operational improvements. By leveraging AI and Digital Twins, organizations can further optimize processes, predict maintenance needs, and enhance overall efficiency, contributing to a substantial ROI.
