One Stop Systems (OSS) and FLYHT Aerospace Solutions Ltd have jointly announced the commencement of a multi-year design and manufacturing collaboration for FLYHT’s automated flight information reporting systems (AFIRS) edge family, including its new AFIRS Edge+.
The expanded relationship aims to ensure that FLYHT has access to OSS’s scaled capabilities as it launches the aviation industry’s first-to-market 5G-enabled avionics solutions, according to the company.
Additionally, the edge enables weather data customers to work with airlines, when coupled with a real-time IP satellite connection, to implement FLYHT’s Aircraft Based Observations (ABO) weather systems and solutions. ABO can include water vapor humidity data for enabling enhanced weather forecasting capabilities.
Speaking about the collaboration, Kent Jacobs, president and interim CEO of FLYHT, says: “We chose OSS as our manufacturing partner for our AFIRS Edge systems because of their proven capabilities in ruggedizing commercial aerospace devices and expertise in rugged edge solutions for AI, sensor processing and sensor fusion.
“We also want to leverage OSS’s expertise in the design, development, integration, testing and manufacturing of new products like our AFIRS Edge+ which can enable faster time-to-market.”
For OSS, the design and manufacturing engagement with FLYHT is valued at a minimum of $6 million over the initial five-year term, according to the company’s research.
“This major win builds upon OSS being a long-time provider of embedded compute and storage technology for FLYHT’s flight safety equipment and networking prototypes,” adds OSS VP of sales, Robert Kalebaugh.
“Our selection by an industry leader like FLYHT represents a strong validation of our design, engineering and manufacturing capabilities, as well as the comprehensive customer service that we have delivered to FLYHT over the years.”
OSS expects to begin production and shipments of AFIRS Edge+ in the second quarter of 2024.
Michael Knowles, CEO of OSS, comments: “This multi-year engagement expands our position in commercial aerospace, and further strengthens our technology development and manufacturing platform.
“Furthering our relationship with FLYHT as a long-standing valued partner underscores our commitment to aviation safety and delivering mission-critical performance without compromise for this important industry.”
