Together, the technologies will autonomously inspect aircraft and provide maintainers with results through a unified operational interface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The company said the MARIA system is designed to accelerate inspection processes, improve the consistency of manual tasks and reduce risks associated with labour-intensive maintenance. Inspection data including imagery, LiDAR point-cloud information, telemetry and metadata will be presented through both 2D inspection workflows and 3D digital twin views to support faster decision-making.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The deployment represents the latest stage in Asylon&#8217;s collaboration with the US Air Force and will establish a flagship implementation of MARIA at one of the service&#8217;s leading sustainment facilities. The company believes the project could pave the way for wider adoption of autonomous aircraft inspection technologies across defence and maintenance operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anthony McCarty, Senior Vice President of Government, Asylon, said the award demonstrated confidence in the company&#8217;s autonomous air and ground robotic systems and their ability to deliver faster, safer and more consistent aircraft inspections for military maintainers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Asylon has secured a Phase Three contract from the Warner Robins Air Logistics Complex (WR-ALC) to further develop, integrate and demonstrate its Multi-modal Autonomous Robotics for Inspection of Aircraft (MARIA) system for the US Air Force.
