RESTON,
Va., Dec. 7, 2023 /PRNewswire/ --
Leidos (NYSE:LDOS), a FORTUNE® 500 science and
technology leader, announced the successful deployment of its
SkyLine-X™ Air Traffic Management (ATM) system in
collaboration with Airways New Zealand. The deployment marks a
significant step forward in the continued delivery of safe and
efficient air navigation services across the New Zealand airspace.
"We are thrilled to support Airways New Zealand's deployment of
our SkyLine-X system," said Ed
Sayadian, Senior Vice President and Operations Manager at
Leidos. "Reaching this milestone demonstrates a collaborative
commitment to create an air traffic management system fit for the
future. SkyLine-X's technology increases resilience and
flexibility, and paves the way for sustainable solutions for air
traffic management."
The deployment replaces Airways New Zealand's existing domestic
ATM platform with a new system featuring a virtual multi-channel
architecture for resilience against common mode and cyclical
failures. It also introduces a new surveillance tracker for
enhanced safety, and an upgraded modeler that will help Airways
move towards Trajectory Based Operations (TBO), which would
increase air traffic throughput.
"By working closely with Leidos, our in-house software team has
been able to tailor a new mission critical system to our needs,"
said Geoff Peck, Chief Information
Officer at Airways New Zealand. "The relationship between our
technical team and Leidos has been critical to creating a platform
that will allow us to deliver even safer, more efficient and
sustainable services into the future."
SkyLine-X will support the full domestic structure of
New Zealand's airspace, covering
all tower, approach and en-route systems.
