TIC

Real-time translation for mixed-crew aviation operations.

Overview

Translation when retry is not an option.

Mixed-language crew operations are routine in modern aviation — and the cost of a single miscommunication can be measured in lives. General-purpose translation is not built for cockpit acoustics, aviation phraseology, or the latency budgets of flight operations.

TIC is a mobile, real-time translation device built specifically for aviation. Domain-trained, latency-engineered, and field-tested in the environments that matter.

It is built for crews. Not for tourists.

Capabilities

What it does.

01

Aviation phraseology.

Trained on ICAO standard phraseology, NATO communications protocols, and regional aviation conventions.

02

Cockpit acoustics.

Robust to engine noise, intercom compression, radio static, and partial-overlap speech.

03

Low-latency pipeline.

End-to-end latency under 350 ms for short utterances. Engineered for conversational flight communications.

04

Offline-capable.

Full translation model runs on-device. Operational without network connectivity — designed for the realities of flight.

05

Multi-pair language support.

Bidirectional translation across a configurable set of aviation-active language pairs.

06

Mission logging.

Optional encrypted logging of communications for post-flight review, training, or incident analysis.
