Lockheed Martin's route analysis tool is to be deployed at Orlando International Airport (MCO), as part of an agreement between the company and the Greater Orlando Aviation Authority (GOAA).
The B-route development tool will enable GOAA to calculate and analyse route scenarios in less than two hours and present them to airlines to study and amend routes-on demand through an iPad app. Under the current scenario, this task takes nearly two days.
GOAA is the first US-based client for the new technology and follows Lockheed Martin's acquisition of BEONTRA earlier this year. It is a part of Lockheed's range of aviation technology solutions, which include air traffic management and airport operations management tools.
