ATXR, an extended reality ATC simulator from UFA, will adapt training based on a trainee's biometric data. WOBURN, Mass. -- UFA, Inc., a leading developer of aviation safety and training solutions, has been selected by AFWERX for a Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Phase II contract in the amount of $1,799,837 for “Revolutionizing Air Traffic Controller Readiness: Mixed Reality and Biometric-Driven Training for Tactical Air Dominance .”     The UFA project aims to address the most pressing challenges in the Department of the Air Force (DAF): the lengthy training cycles and high number of “washouts” (trainees who do not complete training) that have left both civil and military organizations with a critical lack of air traffic controllers. The UFA “Mixed Reality and Biometric-Driven Training for Tactical Air Dominance” project aims to shorten controller training cycles and reduce washout rates by developing and deploying an adaptive simulation system that personalizes air traffic control (ATC) training in real time.     The technology behind the project is complex, integrating advanced biometric sensors, which offer additional data about a trainee’s performance in a simulator exercise, including eye-tracking and stress levels. These physical data points can then be compiled and analyzed along with other trace data from the exercise. The combined analysis allows an adaptation engine to dynamically adjust the trainee’s scenario parameters to meet a specific trainee’s learning needs, continually challenging each individual trainee to improve his or her skills. In essence, the system acts as an expert human instructor, digitally sensing through pattern recognition when a trainee is overwhelmed or under-challenged and adjusting the simulation in real-time to keep them in the optimal learning zone.    The new project promises to offer a significant step forward in addressing the key challenges in ATC training, where high attrition rates, cognitive overload, stress management, and training inefficiencies hinder effective preparation of controllers. In the United States Air Force (USAF), these challenges exacerbate manning shortfalls and delays the USAF’s ability to prepare for tactical air dominance.     Globally, similar issues persist among trainees overwhelmed by intense workloads, communication barriers, and the need to adapt to advanced technologies amid worldwide staffing shortages across civil and military ATC organizations.  By leveraging real-time biometric data (e.g. eye tracking, EEG, and voice indicators) to personalize scenarios—easing complexity for overloaded trainees or increasing challenges for those under-engaged—UFA's machine learning-driven, adaptive ATC simulator has the potential to reduce burnout, enhance retention, and accelerate proficiency, ultimately creating safer, more efficient air traffic management worldwide.  By integrating this adaptive engine within a high-fidelity mixed reality environment, the system can create scenarios that are not only responsive but also incredibly immersive, better preparing controllers for the high-pressure visual and cognitive demands of a real control tower.    The current award to UFA follows previous investments in crucial technology. The DAF began offering the Open Topic SBIR/STTR program in 2018, which expanded the range of innovations the DAF funded. The Air Force Research Laboratory and AFWERX have since partnered to streamline the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) process by accelerating the proposal-to-award timelines, expanding opportunities to small businesses, and eliminating bureaucratic overhead.      David Wolff, CEO of UFA, noted: “The shortage of air traffic controllers is a critical challenge for both national security and civil aviation. This project isn't just about integrating new technology like eye-tracking; it's about fundamentally redesigning the training process. By creating a system that intelligently adapts to each individual trainee, we can reduce washouts, accelerate proficiency, and ensure our skies are managed by the best-prepared controllers in the world. We are proud to partner with the U.S. Air Force on this transformative effort.”    The technological advances from UFA, Inc., supported by this forward-thinking funding, represents an important step in increasing the number of trained air traffic controllers and strengthening the national defense of the United States of America.        About UFA, Inc.  UFA, Inc. is a leading developer of aviation safety and training technologies, including industry-leading   simulation and voice recognition technologies for air traffic control (ATC) and airside driver training.

WOBURN, Mass., May 12, 2025 -- UFA, Inc., a world leader in aviation safety solutions, today announced the launch of ATTranscribe, a revolutionary software product that dramatically reduces licensed controllers’ workloads while increasing safety. Currently, air traffic operators and safety organizations devote significant time to reviewing safety incidents, including transcription of communication between air traffic control and pilots. Because audio from ATC communications is notoriously difficult to understand – dense, fast-paced, and packed with specialized phraseology, yet often masked by cockpit and VHF noise – skilled controllers must expend substantial effort to produce transcripts, taking time away from their core duty of managing live traffic. ATTranscribe, which was purpose-built and trained using machine learning on ATC communications, can support controllers by producing initial transcription, analysis, and reports with fully secure data.  ATTranscribe provides more than 60% reduction in transcription work hours while delivering greater than 90% accuracy across 3000 hours of recorded ATC audio.  "We believe ATTranscribe will completely transform the workflow of incident review," said David Wolff, CEO of UFA. "By translating raw ATC communications into structured, analyzable data, we are saving the time of skilled workers while helping safety teams extract valuable insights faster and more accurately than ever before." Beyond saving controller time, Wolff noted, the new technology can also help controllers to identify trends and warning signs of systemic issues through automated analysis of large historical archives.  With time-synced playback and searchable data, investigators can replay ATC communications alongside transcriptions, filter by keywords, and extract relevant segments for reports. "ATTranscribe has the potential to reshape how we investigate and learn from air traffic communications," said Lawrence Pennett, President of UFA. "By enabling rapid transcription and automated analysis of recorded or live communications, we can accelerate safety improvements across the industry." The new technology can be applied to incident investigation, regulatory compliance, and training debriefs, Pennett added. In addition, the tool exports the finalized transcript into the end-user's required format, saving valuable time for safety investigators and compliance teams. Pennett also noted that the tool can be customized with facility-specific terminology, additional languages, and integrations via standardized APIs. The launch of ATTranscribe represents an important step forward in modernizing Air Traffic Management technology to improve the safety of flying and alleviate the critical shortage of skilled air traffic controllers.   About UFA, Inc.
