Nato is to use software from supplier
Adobe at its Brussels headquarters to assist
with aerial missions.
The E-3A department at Nato is the world's only integrated multinational
flying unit, dedicated to protecting the organisations' 26 member countries.
Adobe's Flex software and LiveCycle Data Services will be used to reduce the
time it takes crew members to prepare for flights. Once airborne, pilots will
also benefit from the swift relay of data from 80 different sources – from
emergency flight routes to information on their local environment.
"We are always looking for ways to improve our efficiency, but only invest in
technology that has proven to be reliable," said Steve Lusardi, project officer
for Nato.
"Adobe Flex is accepted worldwide and provides us with a new opportunity to
automate the flight preparation process and save valuable time," he said.
"It goes without saying that it is crucial for the Nato crew to have access
to relevant information."
