SubscribeNew contract places ATC simulators at Australia’s leading air services facility.
Adacel, an industry leader in software integration, simulation development, and speech recognition technology, announced today that is has been awarded a A$5 million contract by Airservices Australia to provide and support control tower simulators for training Australia's next generation of air traffic controllers.
Under the contract, Adacel will provide a MaxSim tower simulator with a 360-degree field of view and three MiniMax 240 degree systems. The contract also includes warranty and support for four years.
"This new contract with Airservices Australia further extends our leadership in the air traffic control simulation field," stated Fred Sheldon, Adacel CEO North America. "Throughout the world, the leading air traffic control training facilities, schools and air fields utilize Adacel simulators for their training and management needs, and we are pleased to now include Airservices Australia. Adacel was born in Australia, and it is our privilege to be a part of that country's air traffic evolution."
The simulators are set to be installed at the Airservices College at Tullamarine and provide more efficient and effective training of tower controllers through the use of the full immersion simulator and the mini simulators.
Adacel's simulation systems will permit the development of higher skill levels at an earlier stage in controller training through concentrated coverage of required capabilities in a non-operational environment, reducing the time required in operational centers.
Airservices Australia will also use the capabilities of a Control Tower Simulator to analyze and evaluate operational/procedures modeling, airfield modeling, tower configuration modeling, aerodrome emergencies, and incident investigations.
