"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
