EXPERIENCE LEVEL:

Student

The following tasks are activities that could be performed during the thesis. The final definition of tasks will be performed during the interview and the first weeks as part of the onboarding process.

• Review the Concept of Operations (CONOPS) that are used as the major input for the whole project scope.
• Review of operational requirements for automatic take-off and landing in unprepared areas.
• Development of an HMI for use inside a helicopter cockpit with rapid prototype methods in R&T projects.
• Interface the software bricks from our project partners to be used for the trajectory planning during the first and last flight phase before landing/touchdown/takeoff/liftoff.
• Provide simulation data for synthetic tests of the trajectory planning system (flight data, obstacles, terrain, …).

These tasks could be extended by the following:

• Evaluation of state-of-the-art text generation algorithms for requirement capturing (e.g. prompted AI systems).
• Evaluation of state-of-the-art system engineering software (e.g. CAMEO) for research projects within the Airbus perimeter.
• Optimization of Ground Truth Data generation for improvement of the test capabilities in R&T Projects (this also involves the analysis of state-of-the-art toolboxes in the fields of Artificial Intelligence, Computer Vision and Computer Graphics.
