eXplainable Human-ALigned Ai copilot for next-gen cockpits

Objetivo

XHALA (eXplainable Human-ALigned AI copilot) develops next-generation cockpit assistance technologies by delivering TRL4 technology bricks for explainable, human-centred, and certification-aware AI copilots. As cockpit systems and procedures become more complex, current automation remains rigid, opaque, and weak in degraded or high-workload situations. XHALA addresses this challenge through five specific objectives: improving safety in degraded scenarios, reducing pilot workload, enhancing trust and explainability in cockpit automation, delivering modular AI/HMI technology bricks for increasingly digitalised and automated cockpits, and validating them with aviation experts in realistic multi-stage cockpit environments.

These objectives are realised through four tightly integrated technical pillars: (i) multimodal pilot-state and operational-context recognition, (ii) a unified computable aviation knowledge base linking procedures, system logic, and constraints, (iii) hybrid reasoning that combines generative AI with symbolic knowledge to produce grounded and explainable assistance, and (iv) adaptive multimodal HMI and human-AI teaming strategies. The consortium combines complementary expertise in AI, multimodal sensing, human factors, HMI, middleware, and aviation training and simulation, enabling end-to-end development and validation of the XHALA assistance loop.

The project directly supports Horizon Europe priorities on cockpit digitalisation, automation, and future reduced-crew operations. Validation will be carried out with aviation experts, cadets, and instructors in a staged campaign using a low-fidelity VR platform and the ENAC A320 cockpit simulator. XHALA thus supports Horizon Europe priorities on cockpit digitalisation, automation, and future reduced-crew operations, while establishing a European foundation for safer, more transparent, and operationally relevant intelligent cockpit assistance.
