Raft’s technology enables the Air Force to work with data off of flight LRUs as continuous data streams provisioned in a centralized cloud data pipeline and makes digital twins part of the DevSecOps pipeline via Hardware-In-the-Loop (HIL) in Platform One. The data streams enable historical time-series analysis to gain valuable insight into specific scenarios between various flight tests allowing embedded software engineers to test changes in realtime in a virtual world with high level of assurance how the changes will impact the real world flight capabilities. This enables the developers to push new and improved capabilities to warfighters in hours as opposed to months.
