Midwest Airlines to Use Lockheed Martin Flight Planning System

Midwest Airlines will use flight planning technology from Lockheed Martin and its teammate, Vienna-based Flugwerkzeuge Aviation Software.

Lockheed Martin, serving as the program's management lead, will integrate Flugwerkzeuge's mfs:2 flight planning system, and OPUS (operations user system) that manages NOTAMs (notices to airmen), into Midwest's operations control center to help the Milwaukee-based airline design optimal flight paths that incorporate variables such as upper air temperatures, wind speed, aircraft performance, airspace restrictions, connection rules and cost constraints.  02-11-2008.
