Aerlattice is our application for planning and reviewing uncrewed flights. It runs on Windows and keeps the core workflow on the user’s machine, so planning can continue without an internet connection.
The idea is to give a planner and a reviewer enough context to discuss a flight in detail: where it goes, when it will be there, what it conflicts with and what could change.
From a request to a decision
A planner draws a route in three dimensions, giving each waypoint a height and time. The request also includes aircraft limits, mission windows, priority and radio-channel needs.
Aerlattice checks that request against the flights, restricted areas, weather and radio use represented in the exercise. Findings show where and when a conflict occurs. The planner can then compare changes to the route, departure time or channel assignment.
The reviewer can accept, reject or pre-empt a request and leave a review note. Accepted revisions stay fixed until a replacement is explicitly reviewed. This keeps a proposed change separate from the plan that has already been accepted.
Follow an exercise through time
The application includes eight exercises covering traffic, weather, detours, timing, radio contention and monitoring incidents. A shared exercise clock lets users follow recorded or simulated positions and review alerts for deviations, feed loss and projected collisions.
Plans, assessments, decisions and recordings stay together in a local workspace. Backups and exports allow that work to be retained and moved.
There are also optional connections. A receive-only MAVLink input can bring in simulator telemetry. An external ADS-B aircraft layer needs an internet connection.
Where the project stands
Aerlattice is a demonstrator for planning, simulation and review. It does not command aircraft or grant flight clearance, and it has not been presented as an operationally validated system.
The project page includes application screenshots and more detail on the current workflows. The website’s 3D scene is an illustration of the planning idea, separate from the application itself.
