Press Release 22 June 2017 Altran and Luciad on board with Dassault Aviation in the creation of their new mission preparation system for the RAFALE and Mirage 2000 The mission preparation system OPERA, gives pilots all the information needed to simulate training or missions which combines high-performance software with an intuitive interface. In search of an innovative technological solution that would be precise, comprehensive and tailored to its constraints, Dassault Aviation has chosen to work with Altran and Luciad in order to design its Mission Preparation System, known as OPERA, for its RAFALE and Mirage 2000 fighter jets. The relevance and accuracy of geographic information is a key component for mission success. OPERA is a user-friendly system, dedicated to the preparation of training or combat missions. Firstly, it makes it possible to prepare a mission by supplying pilots with all necessary information (aerial photographs, satellite coverage of terrain, aeronautical charts, 2D/3D topography, targets, allied and enemy troops and so on…). OPERA allows the mission to be rehearsed in order to validate tactical choices. Once this stage is completed, data are converted to a dedicated format for uploading to mission calculators. In addition to its outstanding software performance, the system supplied by Altran and Luciad provides a functional and intuitive user interface. “The visual geospatial analysis tool, ‘LuciadLightspeed’ takes into account every one of our data formats Furthermore, this product offers 2D, 3D and 4D capabilities. Its performance, precision, and handling of data in real time are features that Dassault Aviation found compelling. Its intuitive user interface made it possible to quickly deploy it among our development teams with the expertise of Altran’s aeronautics consultants,” explained Salvador Lopez, Head of OPERA program at Dassault Aviation. “The complementarity between Altran and Luciad was a determining factor in this project. By offering Dassault Aviation a product with great added value that was tailored to their environment and needs, we were able to stand out together,” added Fabrice Mariaud, Director, Program Management & Innovation, Altran France. “We are now partners with Altran. Together, we are able to tackle our client’s most crucial projects, which require both a tool at the cutting-edge of technology that is tailored to their needs, while simultaneously managing its integration and adaptation within their existing software ecology,” concluded Jérôme Lutz, Director of Luciad France.
