Problem
Engineers developing safety‑critical systems spend a large portion of their time on repetitive, manual activities such as requirements traceability, test case generation, and compliance documentation. These tasks are error‑prone, slow down project timelines, and increase the risk of non‑conformance with standards like ECSS, DO‑178C, and ISO 26262.
Solution
Astra Labs offers COMET, an AI‑driven automation platform that handles routine engineering work while preserving full compliance with industry safety standards. The software runs on‑premises, giving organizations complete control over their data and eliminating reliance on external cloud services. COMET integrates with existing toolchains through open APIs and delivers results in industry‑standard data formats, enabling seamless downstream processing. Built for instant deployment, the platform requires minimal configuration and does not depend on external consultancy. All AI‑generated artifacts are fully traceable, supporting rigorous quality and safety audits.
Target Audience
The primary customers are engineering teams in aerospace, aviation & defense, automotive, medical device, and industrial control sectors that develop safety‑critical products and must adhere to strict certification standards.
