Specifically designed for the PT6A-67 engine by Pratt & Whitney, the integration aims to improve engine health monitoring and mission reliability for the Israeli Air Force. This development forms part of a broader strategy to strengthen airworthiness and ensure operational safety in critical defence operations.
The system also holds dual-use potential, with applications in both military and civilian contexts. It leverages Odysight.ai’s expertise in AI-driven visual diagnostics for predictive maintenance across high-performance platforms.
Yehu Ofer, CEO of Odysight.ai, stated: “The system we’ve developed is tailored to the unique requirements of our customer and enables remote visual monitoring of hard-to-access engine areas, even during flight. This represents a significant technological achievement and we believe this affirms the system’s reliability and durability under real-world operational conditions.”
The project was carried out in collaboration with the Directorate of Defense Research and Development (MAFAT), which supports the integration of civilian startup innovations into advanced defence systems. This partnership aims to maintain and strengthen Israel’s technological superiority in critical sectors.
Odysight.ai is known for pioneering video sensor-based solutions for predictive maintenance and condition-based monitoring across aviation, transportation, and energy industries. The company’s technology enables real-time visibility into inaccessible or extreme environments, enhancing system reliability and operational oversight.
