Real-time intelligence from ATC communications for proactive threat management and operational decisions
Real-time intelligence from ATC communications for proactive threat management and operational decisions
Simon Cooper, Senior Captain at Major Airline
AYRYX extracts life-saving intelligence from the voices of pilots and controllers - the most underutilized data source in aviation. By understanding these critical communications alongside other flight data, we create unprecedented situational awareness for everyone in the airspace ecosystem.
AYRYX is the first platform to unlock the critical intelligence hidden in pilot-controller voice communications:
Our proprietary technology unifies all aspects of airspace information into a single, intelligent system that understands the complete operational picture. By processing multiple data streams including voice communications, we create unprecedented awareness of developing situations.
Building on this foundation, AYRYX delivers actionable insights before issues develop. The system's deep understanding of airspace dynamics enables accurate predictions and proactive problem resolution.
Joel brings together a combination of deep technical expertise and practical aviation experience. His journey began in Switzerland, where his Computer Science PhD at the University of Fribourg focused on proving that safety-critical systems work correctly. This foundation led him to Systerel, building verification tools for the kind of railway and aviation systems where failure isn't an option, then to Diffblue in Oxford, where he led teams pioneering AI code generation.
As a licensed pilot, Joel understands aviation challenges firsthand. More time than he can recount, he found himself in a situation
where the lack of timely situational information made the flight more challenging than it needed to be. His MBA from Warwick Business School reinforced his belief that the best technology solves real problems for real people.
Joel founded AYRYX in Los Angeles, putting together a team of aerospace experts to tackle aviation's mounting pressures: increasingly congested airspace and tight operational margins that put unprecedented stress on pilots and controllers. From his unique vantage point combining technical expertise with operational flying experience, Joel can see both the scale of the problem and the path to practical solutions. AYRYX is developing AI-powered aviation systems that transform how airspace is managed, making flying simpler and more efficient.
