Avilution Awarded Best of Track at 43rd Digital Avionics Systems Conference (DASC) 2024

Avilution was recently honored to receive notification that our academic paper “Avilution’s eXtensible Flight System (XFS)--Making Modular Open-System Approaches Practical,” won the “Best in Track” Award for the best academic paper submitted to the 2024 Digital Avionics Systems Conference (Sept 29-Oct 3, San Diego) in the “Integrated Mission Avionics & Standardized Avionics Platforms Conference Track.” Only 9 papers out of 216 submitted were so awarded. 

Avilution’s founder and CEO, Mark Spencer, acknowledged, “As a small company in a large industry, we greatly appreciate this recognition at such a prestigious event for our practical and affordable approach to modular avionics integration. I look forward to presenting our paper next month on behalf of Avilution’s outstanding software engineers, and receiving feedback and suggestions from such a knowledgeable group of experts regarding our XFS software.” 

XFS is modular, configurable, reusable integration software rigorously designed and tested for safety-critical applications such as avionics and aerial mission systems. It allows integrators to create entire customized flight decks or cost-effective upgrades to existing instrumentation, faster and more affordably. Avilution’s military customers, particularly U.S. Army Aviation headquartered at Huntsville’s Redstone Arsenal, have found XFS’s agility and responsiveness advantageous for rapidly providing new capabilities to America’s warfighters and countering rapidly evolving enemy threats.
