The Pelagos FXD platform, initially developed with a French Navy specialist unit, has now expanded to suit the needs of the French Naval Aviation, with the addition of a function that allows aviators and flight support personnel to keep track of what is referred to as “Zulu time”, in addition to local time and a third time zone. The Pelagos FXD GMT can keep track of time in up to three time zones at once, one being "Zulu time", the military name for Universal Time Coordinated (UTC) and the standard reference time for all aviators – a valuable tool when undertaking crucial missions. The word "Zulu" is the standardized phonetic alphabet code word used in aviation for "Z" or the first letter of the word "zero".
