Exelis today announced it has successfully integrated its new deicing management solution at Philadelphia International Airport.
The Symphony DeiceVue solution automates tasks in the deicing process that were previously done manually, improving coordination, efficiency and accuracy of operational reports, said Exelis.
Ted Carniol, general manager of commercial aviation solutions for Exelis comments.
“For the first time, the airport, airlines, ground handling providers and FAA have real-time visibility to each aircraft’s location and stage in the deicing process, delivering major efficiency improvements on the airport surface when winter weather conditions arise,” said Carniol.
According to Exelis the contract with deice company Swissport International Ltd., will allow the company to provide automated solutions and coordinate deicing operations between PHL, the airlines, Swissport and the Federal Aviation Administration.
“Providing this critical network of situational awareness information on a shared display results in more efficient queues, less verbal communications and reduced delays,” said Carniol.
Symphony DeiceVue streamlines the collection of deicing fluid data, associates it to specific aircraft and alerts users when exceptions are necessary in one comprehensive reporting system.
The Exelis Symphony suite of airport and airline operations solutions is powered by the Exelis NextGen surveillance data.
