KBM AeroVox replaces the robotic weather voice every pilot hears with a clear, natural broadcast — generated live from the real observation, in any language, updated on the ATIS cycle.
The AI is the voice, never the author.
Designed for airports, aviation authorities, federal agencies, and defense innovation programs.
Pre-customer · Pilot program openAeroVox slots in next to the broadcast you already run. Same observation data, same ATIS cycle, same phraseology rules — delivered in a voice pilots actually want to listen to.
Broadcasts re-bake automatically on the ATIS cycle — every half hour by default, and on any special observation. No one re-records overnight, on weekends, or during a weather event.
Every broadcast is generated by the same deterministic rule set — same phraseology, same unit conventions, same cadence. The AI is the voice, never the author, so output is auditable line-by-line.
The same observation is spoken in English, Spanish, French, and Portuguese today — native phrasing, native voice, no translation lag. Serve international, military exchange, and flight-school traffic from one feed.
AeroVox reads the same METAR the official broadcast already uses and follows your facility's phraseology. No workflow change for controllers, FBOs, or airport ops — it's the broadcast you have, in a better voice.
METAR pulled from FAA / NWS at the source. No human re-keying, no scraping intermediaries.
Raw observation decomposed into typed fields — wind, vis, ceiling, altimeter, remarks — with units normalized.
Fixed FAA-pattern templates compose the script. No model invention, no paraphrase — every clause maps to a field.
Same structured fields rendered into English, Spanish, French, and Portuguese against locale-aware phraseology tables.
Neural voice reads the approved script at measured ATIS pace. Re-baked on the ATIS cycle (default 30 min).
Every spoken word traces to a field in the authoritative observation. The AI is the voice, never the author.
Pulls the airport's real, current METAR — the same data the official broadcast uses.
Converts to proper ATIS phraseology by fixed rules, in any language. The AI is the voice, never the author.
Speaks it in a clear human voice at a measured ATIS pace — updated on the cycle, like a real reissue.
Same deterministic engine, same voice quality, same multilingual coverage. Three operating models for three buyer realities.
Managed AeroVox running in KBM infrastructure. We handle the METAR ingestion, the deterministic phraseology engine, the voice synthesis cache, and the broadcast endpoint.
AeroVox installed in your data center or private cloud. Your METAR feed, your network boundary, your retention policy. We deliver the container stack and the operations runbook.
Fully isolated install with no outbound network. Voice models, phraseology rules, and METAR ingestion all run inside the enclave. Designed for federal, military, and sovereign-AI requirements.
Adjust to your situation. All inputs are estimates. This is not a quote.
We are taking a small number of first-deployment partners. You get the engineering attention of a pre-product-market-fit team; we get the operational data to prove the case.
Pilot fee covers integration and the 90‑day evaluation. Fully credited against year-one contract if you convert. Walk-away at day 90 with no obligation. Written terms before any signature.
The data is live.
The weather sensors are live.
The voice is 30 years old.
Every other layer of the aviation information stack has been digitized, automated, and modernized.
METAR data flows in real time from sensors to cockpits. Aircraft know their exact position to the meter.
Passengers check gate status on their phones.
But the broadcast a pilot copies — the voice that tells them wind, visibility, ceiling, altimeter —
is still produced by a system designed in the 1970s, voiced by a machine that sounds like it.
At most airports, that broadcast was last re-recorded whenever someone remembered to do it.
AeroVox is the first step toward closing that gap. Not just a better voice — a modern aviation
communications layer that treats the spoken broadcast as data, not a recording.
ATIS-style weather is the wedge, not the ceiling. AeroVox is being built as an airport communications platform — the same deterministic engine, the same multilingual voice layer, applied to every spoken broadcast a field generates. Voice is the feature. Operational automation is the business.
Live METAR → deterministic FAA / ICAO phraseology → native voice in four languages → broadcast on the ATIS cycle. Eleven airports modeled, on real weather, in the demo above.
Read field NOTAMs aloud on demand, in any of the supported languages. Same deterministic phraseology approach — the model voices the authoritative NOTAM text, never paraphrases it.
Spoken RCR / runway contamination / braking action reports built from the existing surface observation, in the same voice and cadence as the weather broadcast.
Bird activity, equipment outages, special-event advisories — voiced from the operations log against a controlled alert vocabulary, not free-form generation.
Non-METAR field information — fuel availability, FBO status, customs hours, after-hours contact — in the same multilingual voice layer as ATIS.
Terminal-side announcements in N languages from the same engine that voices the airside broadcast. One source of truth — airside and landside — one voice identity.

AeroVox isn't early. The infrastructure is ready, the pain is documented, and the pressure on airports is accelerating. Here's what's changed.
A natural-sounding voice indistinguishable from a human controller was not technically feasible at scale until 2022–2023. The voice models that power AeroVox did not exist five years ago. The same quality that required a professional recording studio now runs deterministically on commodity cloud infrastructure, on-demand, in any language.
The technology gate is open. Now.The post-pandemic aviation labor market is tight across every function. Small and regional airports are operating leaner than at any point in the last decade. Manual broadcast re-recording — an after-thought task in well-staffed operations — is now genuinely burdensome. The constituency for automating it has never been larger.
GA airport staff vacancy rates ~18% above 2019 levels.Approximately 25% of U.S. commercial passenger volume involves non-native English speakers — and that share is rising at regional airports with growing international charter, military exchange, and flight-school populations. English-only AWOS was adequate when international traffic was rare. It is no longer adequate.
~25% of U.S. passengers non-native English speakers.FAA's NextGen program, the DOT's digital infrastructure agenda, and state aviation modernization funds are directing capital toward exactly this problem. Defense innovation programs (AFWERX, DIU) are actively evaluating AI-augmented voice systems for airfield operations. The procurement pathway is open for the first time.
