Luciad exhibits at ATC Global 2009, Amsterdam, The Netherlands

High performance visualization of the new AIXM 5 standard (Hall 10 - #D516)

Leuven, Belgium, March 9th 2009 --[ASDWire]-- Luciad, the specialist in high performance visualization of situational awareness applications in Aviation, will be presenting a number of new product releases at ATC Global on March 17-19 at the Amsterdam RAI Convention Center, The Netherlands. ATC Global is the meeting place for the Air Traffic Management & Services industry.

At the Amsterdam event, Luciad will be showcasing the latest advances in Human-Machine Interface Technology for high performance ATM/AIS systems on booth #D516. Visitors will experience live demos of LuciadMap, the company’s flagship software for building aeronautical information systems with class leading graphical display capabilities.

LuciadMap enables the first available high performance out-of-the-box decoding and visualization of the new AIXM 5 standard, the aeronautical information format of choice for both the American NextGen and European SESAR programs. Visitors will have a chance to discover what the AIXM 5 technology offers in terms of handling digital NOTAMs and merging static and dynamic data in a single exchange format.

Next to this, Luciad will be introducing LuciadEarth™, a high performance, tile-based visualization engine for virtually unlimited datasets that brings the controller, planner and pilot’s situational awareness up to unprecedented levels.

On Thursday March 19th, Luciad will present a free seminar on ‘Shared situational awareness of operational airspace use through EUROCONTROL CFMU HMI’ at 12 pm in Hall 11. This seminar will illustrate how LuciadMap serves as the basis for the single user interface, helping to optimize Air Traffic Flow Management in Europe.

About Luciad
Luciad provides software solutions for high performance visualization of Situational Awareness applications. Luciad’s software components are the building blocks for mission-critical ATC/ATM and Command and Control systems.

Luciad’s core product is LuciadMap, a software solution that system integrators and original equipment manufactures can easily integrate into their existing systems. LuciadMap provides support for achieving high situational awareness by handling large numbers of static and moving data on top of geographical information, including maps, satellite imagery, and terrain elevation in many different formats and references.

LuciadEarthTM represents a high performance, tile-based visualization engine for virtually unlimited datasets in C2 environments and enables instant raster and vector data fusion at any scale.

Luciad also offers an end-user product, based on LuciadMap’s technology: ATCPlayback, a viewing capability to play back, review, and analyze simulated or recorded air traffic data. It is a powerful, user-friendly suite that graphically replays and intuitively analyzes ATC simulation results by enabling users to interactively refine the analysis process and graphically visualize the results.

Luciad’s international customer base includes EUROCONTROL, FAA, Lockheed Martin, Boeing, NATO, Saab, Belgocontrol, NLR, DGAC, DFS, LVNL, NATS, SIAC, Thales, EADS, AENA, Skyguide, NavCanada and ENAV.
