AstraQua has been awarded a $1,274,990 NASA Phase II contract to advance its AstraSense technology for electric and hybrid-electric aircraft, including advanced air mobility. AstraSense is based on the company's Agentic Physical AI and Adaptive Quorum Foundation Model, providing predictive health and operational self-awareness capabilities for autonomous systems, and has already been running on robotic hardware. In Phase I, AstraQua demonstrated real-time diagnostics and predictive health capabilities to NASA; Phase II builds on this to advance aircraft integration and health-aware reasoning, and conducts verification and validation for safety-critical applications. AstraQua says its approach emphasizes low-power onboard intelligence, reduced reliance on continuous cloud connectivity, and enabling decisions that account for each machine's own health status and operational constraints.
