A System to Rely on Domestic Technical Knowledge

Digital aerial maps such as IFR and VFR maps are among the charts required by the aerial industry of the country, which were formerly owned by the United States and Jeppesen Co. With the sanctions of the United States, the Iranian aerial companies were deprived of the maps, which are now domesticized with the help of knowledge-based companies and the air force of the military of Iran.
