Short Description:

SKYTRACKER is a Mission Management software program designed to be used with ADAPCO's Wingman GX Spray Management System.

Where/When to use:

A Wingman mission can be broken down into 3 distinct phases: Preparation, in which the mission is developed; Execution, in which the mission is flown; and Post-Mission, in which the mission is evaluated. SKYTRACKER addresses both Pre-and Post-Mission phases of Wingman's aerial applications. During the Pre-Mission phase, it tailors the mission for the type of aircraft and chemical to be used as well as application-specific details. It provides the capability to identify towers,input new obstacles, create spray blocks, AB Lines and exclusion zones. When the flight is complete, SKYTRACKER processes the data in a shape file and text report format for evaluation of mission success. Its Animation/Debrief tool is used to re-fly the mission on detailed maps, with a readout of when and where spraying occurred, under optimized conditions if accurate meteorological conditions were inputted. Finally, past missions are tracked and managed for easy reference based on a calendar display.

Features/Benefits:

• Real-time aircraft tracking
• Instantaneous processing of multilevel meteorological data
• Spray system optimization
• Graphical data display
• Spray Zone Design/Obstacle Database
