SESAR P04.07.08
Think Research have been awarded another contract to support SESAR.  This time it's to support NATS with an En-Route Multi Sector Planner simulation.  

NATS iFACTS
We are once again working on iFACTS as the programme prepares for implementation.  This is our third engagement with the programme.  Back in 1999 when it was still in it's very early R&D phase (as FACTS) it was the first project Directors Rob Waggitt and Conor Mullan worked on when they joined NATS.  Think Research became formally involved  again in 2004 as leaders for the Core Engine and System Validation.  This time around it is to assess the impact of MET data on the trajectory predictions. 

PhD in Air Traffic Simulation and Digital Entertainment
Many thanks to all those who applied.  We had applications from all over the world and the position has now been filled.  A warm welcome to Wayne Young who joins us having completed a M.Sc. Computing, a B.Sc. in Computer Animation and Foundation Art at Bournemouth and Swansea Universities.
