L3Harris Redefines Mission Planning with Portable FliteScene® Solution

Mission planning can make or break a successful operation, whether in a high-stakes combat environment or the complex logistics of commercial air travel.

L3Harris' new FliteScene® Mission Planner (FMP) is revolutionizing this process, delivering real-time situational awareness and advanced planning tools in a portable, tablet-based solution. Leveraging the power of FliteScene®, our real-time digital map platform, FMP offers a full range of mission planning capabilities with unprecedented efficiency and precision.

FMP is housed on an Android tablet for seamless integration into existing flight operations. Its user-friendly interface and advanced features provide flight crews with a complete set of tools that can be used as a standalone solution or alongside existing systems. An open-architecture design ensures adaptability across a wide range of operational environments and requirements.

FMP's suite of plug-ins empowers operators to plan safe, efficient flights by integrating key data like flight paths, environmental conditions and aircraft performance in real time. Available plug-ins include:

  • Waypoint management: Plan and adjust flight routes with precise control over key navigational points.
  • Terrain and elevation mapping: Visualize and avoid terrain obstacles with accurate, real-time topographical data.
  • Point feature identification: Spot critical landmarks, hazards or mission-relevant locations for enhanced situational awareness.
  • Platform-specific performance: Optimize performance by tailoring flight plans to the aircraft's unique capabilities and limitations.

Built on proven digital map technology

Our FliteScene® embedded map software is widely fielded on rotary and fixed-wing aircraft, providing years of operational experience for easy integration. FMP is the next step in FliteScene®'s continual evolution to meet changing mission needs.

"FliteScene® Mission Planner is a game-changer for flight crews, providing an advanced, portable, flexible solution for mission planning," says Sterling Jones, Vice President and General Manager, Agile Development Group, L3Harris. "We're proud to continue building on our proven FliteScene® technology to deliver innovation that supports both military and civilian operations worldwide."
