Spirent wins USAF C-17 MFOQA contract.Spirent Systems was recently awarded the follow on contract to supply Military Flight Operations Quality Assurance (MFOQA MFOQA Military Flight Operations Quality Assurance (USAF) ) software to the USAF Safety Center located at Kirtland AFB AFB abbr. acid-fast bacillus AFB Acid-fast bacillus, also 1. Aflatoxin B 2. Aorto-femoral bypass , N.M. in support of C-17 operations. The MFOQA solution Spirent has provided the USAF is a replay & analysis system to detect trends in the way aircraft are operated. These trends are then used to facilitate improvements in operational safety and efficiency. The system consists of Spirent's GRAF-Vision Windows 2000-based program that provides an end-to-end MFOQA solution. It provides a significantly greater level of management and command insight into aircraft mission and line operations, as well as an "event based" safety monitoring Safety Monitoring of a clinical trial is conducted by an independent physician with relevant expertise. This is accomplished by review of adverse event, immediately after they occur, with timely follow-up through resolution. program. "Spirent is very proud to be a part of the first Military FOQA FOQA Flight Operational Quality Assurance FOQA Flight Operations Quality Assurance Programs program in the USA and of the progress achieved in the last 12 months since the initial contract was awarded. We look forward to continuing this work and to ensuring that the USAF is able to derive the maximum benefit from this program," said Peter Clapp, Business Development Director for Spirent Systems. Flight data downloaded from C-17 aircraft is sent to the USAF Safety Center at Kirtland AFB for analysis. Spirent's MFOQA software is used to analyze the data, looking for Looking for In the context of general equities, this describing a buy interest in which a dealer is asked to offer stock, often involving a capital commitment. Antithesis of in touch with. operational anomalies during flight missions. Using the Vision animation software, the USAF is able to rapidly visualize complex operational scenarios and utilize the system's sophisticated high fidelity high fidelity n. The electronic reproduction of sound, especially from broadcast or recorded sources, with minimal distortion. high flight path generation algorithms to compute and visualize the aircraft's precise movements, position and orientation in the real world. In addition, photo realistic aircraft instrumentation Aircraft instrumentation A coordinated group of instruments that provide the flight crew with information about the aircraft and its subsystems. These instruments provide flight data, navigation, power plant performance, and aircraft auxiliary equipment , high-resolution airfield satellite imagery Satellite imagery consists of photographs of Earth or other planets made from artificial satellites. History The first satellite photographs of Earth were made August 14, 1959 by the US satellite Explorer 6. , navigation and data plots combine to make GRAF-Vision the product of choice for such programs.
