New Business Director, Micro Nav Ltd

Tom Howard Jones is the New Business Director of Micro Nav. He has 15 years experience of Air Traffic Control simulation and training business development and general management; and a further 10 years experience of systems engineering and product management in real time training simulation for the oil and marine industries.

In 1988 he started the new ATC Simulation and Training business in the UK division of Hughes Aircraft Company and forged the relationship with Micro Nav. FIRST- the simulator invented, developed and supported by Micro Nav – was licensed exclusively to Hughes and became one of the most successful products around the world, thanks to powerful teamwork of the two complementary companies.

In 1998, following the take over of Hughes by Raytheon, he joined Micro Nav as a Director in the management team that re-launched Micro Nav with a new business model and developed the new generation BEST ATC simulators. During the last 5 years the fully integrated range of products has been delivered, including: radar; tower; fighter control; voice recognition and audio communications simulations with both civil and military specialisations.

BEST is in operation with leading Air Traffic Authorities, including; the UK NATS and MoD; Germany; Switzerland; Denmark; Malaysia and the UAE.
