Meet us at DASC 2026
Join Lynx at DASC 2026 for "Containing AI Workloads in Safety-Critical Avionics Using Separation Kernel" and learn how AI can be deployed alongside safety-critical applications using a containment-oriented architecture.
Wednesday, September 16 | 2PM EST | Room: Majestic 4
"MOSA is critical to modernization." – Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth
Containing AI Workloads in Safety-Critical Avionics Using Separation Kernel
AI is rapidly moving into avionics, creating new opportunities for perception, mission management, health monitoring, and decision support. But deploying AI in safety-critical systems also raises complex questions about determinism, interference, assurance, and certification.
In this presentation, Lynx will explore how a Type-1 hypervisor or separation-kernel architecture can contain GPU-accelerated AI inference within a lower-criticality domain—while protecting high-criticality avionics software in a dedicated real-time environment.
Attendees will learn how to:
- Minimize shared resources between AI and safety-critical workloads
- Constrain interactions through controlled, well-defined interfaces
- Preserve determinism in high-criticality avionics software
- Support incremental AI adoption in Integrated Modular Avionics platforms
