Our take
Bringing AI to the aerospace and defense sectors, Air Space Intelligence supplies an operating system to support human intelligence and help operators in the air domain make better and faster decisions.
The company's Flyways platform leverages AI to generate predictions even in rapidly changing environments, providing contextually relevant actions to human operators. Specifically designed for high-stakes decision making, Flyways' value lies in its ability to fuse and enrich large sets of spatial and temporal data, from which it generates a new "4D lookahead" of the most likely scenario every few seconds.
In 2023, the company secured $34M to fuel growth and expand its government presence. Building on this momentum, Air Space Intelligence has since partnered with Joby Aviation to support the integration of electric air taxis into the US National Airspace System, positioning Flyways at the forefront of advanced air mobility.
