SynapseMX
Overview
Problem Aircraft readiness is critical to the DoD vision of a lethal, resilient, and adaptable force. Yet, legacy maintenance systems and outdated processes overburden maintainers and fail to deliver real-time, actionable data - directly impacting aircraft availability and National Defense Strategy readiness.
Solution SynapseMX is a real-time workflow platform purpose-built for maintainers and QA teams. Using automation and AI, it increases aircraft availability and ensures QA compliance.
TRL & Validation - TRL: 6 - AFWERX CSO SBIR Phase I - Adapted by 164th & 189th AWs (Phase III) - QA capability with NGB/A4M (Phase II) - NGB/A4: Fielding in FY26 to 4 Wings via APB - AFRC/A4: Fielding in FY26 via ARCWERX
Strategic Advantage - Exclusive data access via ANG/A4M partnership - First-mover timing edge: purpose-built maintenance/QA execution - Building towards deep integrations (i.e BLADE, etc) - Developed by seasoned maintenance professionals
Go-to-Market Access - NGB/A4M connecting us to peers @ AMC, ACC, AFRC, HAF - RSO MAC IDIQ
Dual-Use Potential - Commercial airlines, 3rd-party MROs - Maritime, fleet, and other high CapEx sectors
Team - Shane Ballman: Head of maintenance innovation @ AirTran, core integration team w/ Southwest Airlines for FAA single operating certificate - Katerina Barilov: UC Berkeley MBA, ex-Goldman Sachs aviation banker
Competitive Landscape - LITE (via RSO), AIRS (Beacon), AireXpert, Beacon (Embraer-X) - We’re different: purpose-built for Situational Awareness, Aircraft Availability, and QA compliance.
Primary Users Work centers, Maintenance Control, Pro Supers, QA, MXG/CCs
User-Critical Problem Disconnected systems and manual workflows erode morale, bury teams in inefficiency, and fail to deliver the data needed to meet mission readiness.
