The platform, which originated as an Air Force Spark Tank initiative at RAF Mildenhall to support KC-135 operations, integrates UL 913-certified wearables with real-time audio and video streaming. By providing maintainers with AI-powered knowledge retrieval and a searchable digital log, the system functions as a safety-critical partner during complex repairs on heavy aircraft like the C-5M Super Galaxy, C-17 Globemaster, and KC-46 Pegasus.
MetroStar projects that this transition will recover over 35,000 work hours annually while adding 7,000 days of aircraft availability to the fleet. According to Hannah Hunt, the company's Vice President of Product, the goal is to provide a mission-ready digital assistant that understands technical workflows rather than a simple chatbot. The technology is currently accessible to federal agencies through the Tradewinds Solutions Marketplace.
