AI-Enabled Digital Engineering Solutions

At HSB Solutions, we are integrating AI and data-driven methods into aerospace engineering workflows, supporting teams across requirements, compliance, and certification activities while keeping human expertise and judgement at the centre. Rather than applying generic AI to aviation problems, we build tools that are deeply informed by aerospace standards, programme experience, and certification expectations. The result is a growing capability that helps engineering teams move faster, work more consistently, and focus their expertise where it matters most. 

Our solutions assist with repetitive work such as document-intensive analysis and produce structured, traceable outputs for engineering review. Unlike generic AI products, they are designed around aerospace standards, development assurance processes, and certification workflows. Qualified engineers remain responsible for verifying outputs and making all final engineering and compliance decisions. They support - not replace - professional judgement.
 

Our current capabilities include:

  • AI-assisted compliance document review

  • AI-assisted requirements validation

  • Bespoke AI tools for aerospace engineering workflows

AI-Assisted Compliance Document Review

Our compliance review capability helps engineers examine certification and compliance demonstration documentation against structured checklists associated with authority and industry guidance documents.

The tool can review a primary compliance document and its supporting evidence using checklists and review criteria appropriate to the applicable development assurance context. 

It generates proposed checklist responses, supporting explanations, and references to the relevant source material. Results can be written into established checklist formats for review by a qualified engineer.
 

Key capabilities

  • Processes primary and supporting documents

  • Generates proposed checklist responses and explanations

  • Provides references to source documentation

  • Summarises key information including DAL assignment and architecture

  • Identifies potential gaps and topics requiring clarification

  • Exports results into established engineering formats
     

In initial internal trials on selected checklist-based activities, the capability reduced review effort by up to approximately 50%. Results will vary according to document scope, complexity, quality and the level of engineering verification required.

AI-Assisted Requirements Validation

Our requirements validation capability helps systems engineers assess engineering requirements using more than 20 quality criteria derived from ARP4754A/B principles and established systems engineering practices.

The tool evaluates factors such as clarity, completeness, consistency, verifiability, and abstraction level. Each requirement receives a proposed assessment: Pass, Needs Revision, or Fail, supported by findings and references. Where appropriate, it can also suggest an improved version of the requirement.
 

Key capabilities

  • Assesses requirements against defined quality criteria

  • Evaluates abstraction level using L1-to-L4 framework

  • Cross-references relevant system documentation

  • Identifies potential conflicts and duplicate requirements

  • Explains the basis for each proposed assessment

  • Suggests revisions and exports structured results
     

The responsible systems engineer retains authority for the final assessment and acceptance of every requirement.

Bespoke AI Tools for Aerospace Workflows

HSB Solutions can help customers identify and automate repetitive, document-intensive engineering activities while preserving appropriate oversight and traceability.

We can support the complete development process, from initial use-case assessment and feasibility analysis through to prototyping, integration, testing, and deployment.
 

Our capabilities include:

  • Assessing workflows for AI-assisted automation

  • Defining use cases and acceptance criteria

  • Developing tools for specific aerospace processes and standards

  • Producing structured, traceable outputs

  • Integrating solutions with existing engineering workflows

  • Testing tool performance before operational use

Engineering Oversight by Design

Our AI-enabled tools assist engineers rather than replace their judgement. Outputs are presented as proposed findings and include explanations and source references wherever possible.

Engineers remain responsible for verifying the information, resolving uncertainty, and making final engineering and compliance decisions. AI-generated outputs do not independently approve requirements, establish compliance, or replace required engineering and certification reviews.

Accelerating Engineering Without Compromising Rigour

By combining aerospace engineering expertise with purpose-built AI capabilities, HSB Solutions helps teams reduce repetitive work, improve review consistency, and focus on decisions that require professional engineering judgement.
