To help air traffic control centers improve the safety and the
efficiency of the National Airspace System, Ames Research Center
developed the Future Air Traffic Management Concepts Evaluation Tool
(FACET) software, which won NASA's 2006 "Software of the Year"
competition. In 2005, Ames licensed FACET to Flight Explorer Inc., for
integration into its Flight Explorer (version 6.0) software. The
primary FACET features incorporated in the Flight Explorer software
system alert airspace users to forecasted demand and capacity
imbalances. Advance access to this information helps dispatchers
anticipate congested sectors (airspace) and delays at airports, and
decide if they need to reroute flights. FACET is now a fully integrated
feature in the Flight Explorer Professional Edition (version 7.0).
Flight Explorer Professional offers end-users other benefits, including
ease of operation; automatic alerts to inform users of important events
such as weather conditions and potential airport delays; and
international, real-time flight coverage over Canada, the United
Kingdom, New Zealand, and sections of the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.
Flight Explorer Inc. recently broadened coverage by partnering with
Honeywell International Inc.'s Global Data Center, Blue Sky Network,
Sky Connect LLC, SITA, ARINC Incorporated, Latitude Technologies
Corporation, and Wingspeed Corporation, to track their aircraft
anywhere in the world.
