Air Tanker Information System (ATIS)
Latitude pioneered the tracking of aerial water-bombers starting back in 2001. This led to the development of the Automated Flight Following (AFF) standard in North America. Evolving out of this work was the Latitude Air Tanker Information System (ATIS). ATIS allows operators, agencies and regulators to visualize the what, where and how of aerial fire attack in near real time. Water or retardant fills and drops are mapped in a web browser along with specifics on each drop and totals for the selected time period. Metrics such as drop per hour can also be generated to help assess operational efficiency. This gives all stakeholders an invaluable tool to manage their efforts and assets.

Additional Telemetry Unit (ATU)
Fill and drop parameters are made available to the USFS and other government agencies through the Additional Telemetry Units (ATU) of the AFF data feed. Latitude collects hundreds of mission-critical parameters from aerial fire attack aircraft and our high availability servers securely distribute the data to your authorized third parties.
IONode Flight Data Monitoring
The IONode™ lightweight flight data recorder integrates with any bucket or tank system allowing operators to record key parameters and fulfill contractual requirements to government agencies.
SkyNode S100
The SkyNode® S100 offers complete tracking and data telemetry. Interfaces to multiple mapping and information management systems. 2-way data access everywhere you operate. The preferred real-time data communications module for Latitude’s IONode FDM system.
