Adacel - Software Technology and Systems Integration

Contract expands support and maintenance services for Adacel’s Air Traffic Control Simulation Systems to United Sates’ leading aviation organizations.

Adacel, an industry leader in software integration, simulation development, and speech recognition technology, announced today that it has received a one-year extension to its Training Systems Support Center/Contractor Logistics Support (TSSC/CLS) contract with the United States Air Force (USAF).

The contract option, valued at US$3.5M, is for 5th year of support for what is projected to be a 10-year Tower Simulator System (TSS) life cycle.

Under this contract option Adacel will maintain responsibility for the maintenance and support of over 100 TSSs located at sites worldwide. The contract also expands Adacel's support to the FAA's and the USMC's TSSs. Services will include: configuration management and documentation, maintenance and update of software baselines, 24/7 on call trouble shooting, system repairs, spares management and reporting.

"We have worked diligently with the US Air Force, the FAA and the Marine Corps to ensure that their systems are continuously and seamlessly supported, and this contract extension demonstrates the confidence they have in Adacel," said Fred Sheldon, Adacel CEO North America. "We take pride in ensuring that our systems meet the operational needs of our customers as we believe there is little value in having a state-of-the-art simulation system that is not properly supported. With Adacel, our clients get a comprehensive long term solution."

As part of the TSSC/CLS, Adacel will also provide a web-based Integrated Data Environment. This environment provides Adacel and the customer direct access to all support related documentation as well as contract plans, technical documents and performance metrics.

Adacel is the leading provider of air traffic control training simulators worldwide. Adacel's radar and visual control tower training products are used by: NASA, the U.S. Air Force, Army and Marine Corps, the Federal Aviation Administration as well as over thirty air navigation service providers around the world.
