  • Patent number: 7558654
    Abstract: An apparatus and method provide flight operations integrated planning and analysis tools (FOIPAT) to perform integrated planning and analysis tasks for autonomous (unmanned) systems operations. The FOIPAT may be used for space launch and satellite early orbit analysis. The FOIPAT improves the efficiency and accuracy of space launch and satellite operations pre- and post-launch tasks performed by, for example, the US Air Force, the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) and their support contractors. The FOIPAT provides greater functionality than existing software tools, reduces risk of errors, enhances quality control and data reliability, and reduces launch and flight operations planning cycle time. The FOIPAT may provide methodology for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) as well as terrestrial and seagoing systems.
