Introducing Shift5 Manifold 10: A New Era in Onboard Data Monitoring and Insights for Commercial and Defense Aircraft 

Modern aircraft generate vast amounts of data that often go uncollected and unused, leaving valuable insights untapped. This lack of comprehensive data capture means operators and maintainers are missing out on critical information that could enhance safety, improve fleet availability, and reduce downtime. Shift5 addresses this issue head-on by providing an innovative solution that captures, monitors, and analyzes high-volume data streams in real-time, directly from the edge.

Charting a Reliable Course Through the Murky Waters of GPS Signal Manipulation

The Global Positioning System (GPS) is an integral part of our daily lives, guiding everything from our travels to emergency responses. However, beneath its surface lies a troubling vulnerability to manipulation. Imagine your device being tricked into believing you’re in a completely different location or losing all navigation signals entirely. These threats—GPS spoofing and jamming—pose serious risks to safety and security. Discover how researchers are developing countermeasures and why a collective responsibility is essential to safeguard this critical technology. Join us as we navigate the complexities of GPS manipulation and explore the future of reliable navigation.

What is Observability?

Observability refers to the ability to derive real-time, context-rich insights from refined onboard data to enable not just a more comprehensive understanding of the state of a system—or system of systems—but ultimately to enable smarter, faster decisions and actions.

It unlocks a new level of decision-making by providing a clear understanding of what’s happening on a vehicle holistically, the whole being greater than the sum of its parts.

With observability, operators and maintainers can see and understand exactly what’s going on within a platform’s onboard systems and components collectively at the moment the issue manifests.

The Biden-Harris National Cybersecurity Strategy: Three Key Takeaways

Last Thursday, the Biden-Harris administration released an aggressive strategy to tackle the nation’s most pressing cybersecurity issues. The National Cybersecurity Strategy (NCS) is a welcome development for industry advocates who’ve long encouraged the government to adopt a culture where protecting our infrastructure from digital threats isn’t a passive add-on or afterthought. Cyber protection and survivability must be a primary consideration from conception and design to implementation and deployment. Cybersecurity is national security

“A Fully Immersive Baptism By Fire” 

Notes from the Shift5 team that supported the U.S. Army’s Scarlet Dragon Oasis 

FT BRAGG, NC – “My military background was a huge part of what allowed me to drive through this.” Zack Chappell credits his 22 years in the Air Force with preparing him to lead the Shift5 team that supported the U.S. Army’s Scarlet Dragon Oasis last month, although he admits, “I’m used to jumping out of planes, not really loading them.”
