  • UFA’s ATTower® with ATVoice™ Delivered to Kaufbeuren ATM Training

    Burlington, MA., March 20, 2018 – UFA, Inc. (UFA), a leading provider of Air Traffic Simulation and Voice Technologies, announced that it has successfully delivered its ATTower Simulator with ATVoice Voice Recognition and Response (VRR) technology to Kaufbeuren ATM Training (KAT). KAT, a subsidiary of DFS Deutsche Flugsicherung GmbH (DFS), is responsible for the training of Bundeswehr (German Air Force) Air Traffic Controllers. As part of this delivery, ATTower and ATVoice were installed on trainee Microsoft Surface tablets. The ability to have an ATTower Simulator with ATVoice on portable devices allows trainees to practice phraseology and part task training independently and without internet connection; supporting training anywhere, anytime. The speech recognition fully supports bilingual speech – German and English. A group of 15 students were the first to use the new capability as part of a Bundeswehr ATC course focusing on Ground Control Approaches. During an in-class training, scholars practice Precision Approach Radar (PAR) position exercises with 1 to 1 instructor support. Michael Moltchadski, the Project Lead who worked closely with the KAT team, remarked, “Feedback from the students and instructors after the training class was very positive. The students liked the innovative technology and the opportunity to train on their own. One instructor even emphasized the positive learning effect of the standard phraseology, which is achieved using our industry leading ATVoice VRR technology.” Support for Tower and Airport Surveillance Approach (ASR) Radar positions will be introduced in Summer 2018. The next phase includes the transfer of fundamental large-scale Tower and Radar simulation exercises to tablet computers provided with ATVoice VRR. Ultimately KAT and the Bundeswehr students will have access to VRR capabilities in the complete simulation environment, a 360-degree Tower Simulator with bilingual English/German speech recognition for Tower, Ground (aircraft and vehicles), PAR and ASR Radar positions.

  • UFA Delivers ATTower® Tower Simulator to the University of Massachusetts – Amherst

    Cutting edge simulator to be used for ATC research at the University’s Transportation Center Burlington, MA., – March 13, 2018 – UFA, Inc. (UFA), a leading provider of Air Traffic Simulation and Voice Technologies, announced that is has delivered its ATTower Tower Simulator to the University of Massachusetts – Amherst. The Buehler Foundation Air Traffic Control Simulator consists of a 7-channel simulator with three controller working positions (Local, Ground, and Radar), three pseudo pilot positions, and one instructor/data preparation position. While ATTower is widely used by ATC organizations around the world for controller training, the product has a long history as a research platform. UMASS researchers will use ATTower’s robust feature set, as well as the product’s application programming interface (API), to support a wide variety of transportation research projects. The API allows such information as traffic, weather, and flight plan data to be integrated with external systems or other simulators. For example, this interface can be used to integrate a flight simulator or air traffic tools such as ground radar, electronic flight strips, or weather/information displays. Professor Michael Knodler, Director of the UMASS Transportation Center, adds, “The UFA Tower Simulator is another example of the interests and commitment the UMass engineering faculty have shown over 5 decades to employ innovative technologies to conduct cutting edge transportation systems research and education activities to make transportation in the U.S. safer and more efficient”. No other single simulator product on the market offers the range of capabilities required for the University of Massachusetts ATC Research and Development simulator. “This deployment of ATTower will unquestionably showcase our system’s capabilities outside its use case of providing a comprehensive training platform for air traffic control students,” says Joseph Campbell, Director of Special Projects. “The staff at UMASS are extremely motivated to exploit the simulator to its full potential and beyond.” About UFA, Inc.
