The aim of the HAIKU Project is to deliver prototypes of AI Digital Assistants for different aviation segments and users: commercial aviation pilots, urban air mobility and sky taxis, remotely piloted drones, remote towers, and air traffic controllers. It is essential both for safe operations, and for society in general, that the people who currently keep aviation so safe can work with, train and supervise these AI systems, and that future autonomous AI systems make judgements and decisions that would be acceptable to humans. HAIKU will pave the way for human-centric-AI by developing guidance and assurance procedures, and by exploring Human-AI Teaming via several interactive prototypes. The ENAC is responsible for the AI system that will support pilots on startling and surprising event onset.

This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon Europe research and innovation programme HORIZON-CL5-2021-D6-01-13 under Grant Agreement no 101075332

The overall objective of HARVIS project is to identify how cognitive computing algorithms, implemented in a digital assistant, could support the decision making of a single pilot in complex situation.
Two digital assistants were developed for the project:

• The Non Stabilized Approach assistant is based on the experience of many pilots. It aims to support the pilots for the Go around decision.
• The Dynamic rerouting assistant helps the pilots to choose a diversion aiport in flight in case of emergency.
