Overview
We have been providing Air Traffic Control (ATC) simulation technology since 1985. The UFA product family includes the ATCoach® Radar Simulator for Terminal, En Route and Precision Approach; the ATTower® Tower Simulator with ATView 3D Visuals; the ATVoice® Voice Recognition and Response product for automation of simulation execution; and ATRadio® Voice Communications System for air-ground communications, intercom for intra-facility communications, and landline telephony for interfacility communications.
Our simulation technology is delivered to clients in Europe, the United States, and around the world. In the US, our clients include the FAA Terminal (STARS) and En Route (URET and ERAM) programs, the US Military, and a number of Colleges and Universities. Clients outside the US include the DFS in Germany, LVNL in the Netherlands, Aeroport de Paris in France, EUROCONTROL, CAA Finland, Airports Authority of India, Airways New Zealand, ATNS South Africa, and CAA Finland and other CAA and ANS organizations.
Our products support all ATM domains – Tower, Terminal, and En Route as well as Precision Approach Radar – and are applied by our customers in a number of ways:
- Concept and requirements development through prototyping
- Test Tool throughout the ATM system development lifecycle
- Embedded performance verification of fielded operational systems
- Training of new Controllers through their certification
- Familiarization, refresher and emergency training for experienced Controllers
- Combined Controller/Pilot training
- Airspace/Airport modeling and new procedure evaluation
- ATM Research and Development
We boast a staff with extensive ATC and aviation experience in the roles of Controllers, Technicians, Trainers, Engineers, Pilots, and Managers. Our headquarters are located in Woburn, MA, outside of Boston. We also maintain a facility outside of Washington, DC to support the US FAA and military customers. Our wholly owned subsidiary, ATCSIM GmbH, has offices located in Mainz and Kaufbeuren, Germany that provides local support for our European clients.
From these offices in the United States and Germany, we are focused on delivering and supporting the premier ATC simulation and Voice Recognition technology to our customers around the world. A key aspect of our business is the after sales support to our customers, many of whom have been with us for ten years or more.
Our core competencies include development of complex software architectures, algorithm development including aircraft modeling and navigation; modeling of complex systems including surveillance, weather, and flight data systems; high performance 3D modeling and visualization; software interface engineering; audio/speech processing; and all aspects of customer support and training.
