Problem the AI is intended to solve

Leverage opportunities to automate overly manual analysis tasks, with a goal of amplifying productiivity and efficiency, allowing employees to free up their time for more complex tasks.

Expected benefits

Reduce false positives in static analysis, trace design to code, identify issues, generate comments, requirements/design traceability, gap detection, change impact analysis, completeness/correctness checks, Generate edge/off-nominal test cases, identify missing tests, assess requirement flow-down..

System outputs

Insights into potential software defects and anomolies, impacts of vulnerabilities on flight assets, better understanding of software complexities and risks to focus IV&V and software assurance services.
