The Holographic Assistive Pilot was a tool produced by Holographic Solutions Incorporated to fill gaps in services, in particular the need for flight assistance both in aircraft and spacecraft. Usually reserved for relief pilot status, the HAP can operate when holographic systems are operational, even when autopilot functions are not functional for some reason.
Specifications[]
Specialized in piloting functions of standardized craft, the HAP can step in as a relief pilot or as a co-pilot to make for a safer flight. It is a completely different system than the Autopilot function, operating with a simulated AI decision matrix to show creativity necessary in some situations where the autopilot is incapable of desicion making beyond preprogrammed parameters.
Relevant factors exist not only of computer and power resources but of relative cost may also be a driving factor in choices made for Holographic Aid usage. HSI can provide a purchase license per a single service matrix which will grant the End User perpetual use and full autonomy to make adjustments up to the maximum[A] capacity, or a user license that allows for an entire suite of matrices to be available and payment is on a use basis per contract license period.[B][C].
Skillsets[]
All of the HAP are programmed with same standard skillset pallet at a 'competent skill level', and capacity for modular switch out of language sets if requested.

Legality[]
The Holographic Aid is not considered sentient at deployment, although they do have the capability to become sentient with extended use. As such, standard deployment includes an automatic restart every 14 days to reset, and reload pertinent data. UFP sentience guidelines are to be followed as it becomes necessary, with potential for recognition legally and rights bestowed. (Pending)
Background[]
Holographic Solutions Incorporated (HSI) is based out of Catalina City, Titan. HSI is an incorporated civilian organization known for contracting for the UFP and member states providing computer simulations and holographic simulacrum for service positions. Products of HSI cover a range of on demand service positions; household cleaning staff and groundskeepers, personal chefs and waitstaff, childcare, personal assistance, medical doctors, medical assistants and orderlies, elder care nursing aids, transport pilots and navigators, personal protection services, and just about any other specialized moderately skilled position imaginable. Product licenses are purchased or leased under contract subject to an End Users License Agreement. Software modification is limited at time of purchase, and subject to review, rollback, and cancellation of license if EULA is violated.
- [A] Restricted by EULA, and subject to warranty void if violated.
- [B] Licenses are flat rate per GQHs per year. (Giga-Quad hours processed per year).
- [C] Holographic Aids are compatible with mobile emitters.
HSI is an affiliate of DFIG, and licensed to due business anywhere in the UFP.
