Lockheed Martin and Metron Aviation Team on CDM Tools

Lockheed Martin and Metron Aviation announced at Jane's 14th Annual Air Traffic Control Maastricht Conference that they will jointly offer an integrated family of CDM (collaborative decision-making) products to airlines, airports and air traffic service providers.

Lockheed Martin will bring its new FltWinds/CDM family of flight following products to the venture – including its SPEAR flight analytical application  – which will be integrated with Metron’s Airport Flow Tool suite of products.   

Lockheed Martin's FltWinds (flight and weather information and decision support) system helps flight dispatchers monitor flights and pertinent weather with comprehensive graphical mapping and display tools, and automatic alerting to changing conditions.  Lockheed’s SPEAR performance evaluation and analytical tool, is used by airline operations managers to use detailed past flight information to make better future decisions.    

Metron’s Airport Flow Tool helps operational managers develop tactical responses to changes in airport demand and capacity in real-time.  The tool displays specific flight information, airport arrival and departure rates, arrival and departure slots, and airport restrictions, and allows “what-if” evaluations in a matter of seconds.  It also facilitates collaboration and distributed decision making by allowing several different users to view the same information simultaneously.   02-11-2004.
