Aerospace

Capture data at the rate your sensors record it and cut flight-test review from days to hours.
SIFT for aerospace

Every sensor lands at the rate it was recorded, up to 10kHz and beyond

Ingest tens of thousands of data channels at the rate each sensor recorded, up to 10kHz and beyond, with sub-second latency from sensor to simulation to flight test. Capture everything, so a pressure spike lasting microseconds reads as clearly as a slow thermal drift, and your flight-test review runs the moment telemetry lands.

Every sample stays at its original rate

Your simulations, test beds, and flight tests stream into one timeline at the rate they were recorded. Separating storage from compute keeps every data channel queryable for the life of your program.

Rules and baselines flag anomalies the moment they appear

Rules your team writes run continuously against incoming telemetry and flag deviations the moment they appear. What one teammate catches informs a new baseline your whole team uses for every future test.

Root cause and certification evidence come from one place

Explore and Calculated Channels trace anomalies to their source, and Reports generate structured, shareable evidence for AS9100, FAA, and ITAR review.

Investigations that took 4 to 8 hours now finish in under one, at terabyte scale.

K2 Space scaled from 10MB of test data over a summer to tens of terabytes per week, with tens of thousands of channels monitored in real time at sub-second latency. Investigations that once took 4 to 8 hours of MATLAB scripting now finish in under one.
