National Guard Bureau acquires additional UFA ATTOWER and ATCOACH ATC Simulators

UFA Inc. announced today that the National Guard Bureau (NGB) has acquired an additional eight (8) UFA ATTower Desktop Tower Training Systems (DTTS) and upgrades for eleven (11) UFA ATCoach Advanced Precision Approach Radar Training Systems (APARTS).
These systems will be located at United States Army National Guard (ARNG) sites around the country and are transportable for use during deployments. Currently the ARNG has six (6) ATTower DTTS and fifteen (15) ATCoach APARTS systems deployed in the United States. In addition, UFA ATCoach APARTS systems are deployed at a number of US Army sites in the United States, including the Army ATC Training School at Fort Rucker. The United States Air Force also operates eleven (11) ATCoach APARTS Systems in the US and abroad. The ATCoach APARTS product provides high fidelity training on several current military approach, arrival and precision approach radar systems. Air Traffic Controllers interact with APARTS using UFAs industry leading ATVoice voice recognition and response product. APARTS is scalable from transportable desktop configurations to large fixed training facilities. The ATTower based DTTS provides the ARNG with the same industry leading tower simulation features as provided in larger airport configurations but in a configuration that is both transportable and requires minimal facility space. The DTTS uses UFAs latest generation of ATView 3D visualization to provide highly realistic views of the ARNG airfields and contingency sites. ATVoice allows Controllers to interact during a training session through voice recognition and multiple pilot voice responses. The ARNG can further leverage ATTowers ability to integrate with other simulators such as AVCATT and TBOS for joint pilot and controller training sessions. Additional installations of ATTower include the LVNL in Amsterdam, the Netherlands; the FMG in Munich, Germany; the DLR in Braunschweig, Germany; the DFS in Langen, Germany; the FINAVIA, in Vantaa, Finland; EUROCONTROL IANS in Luxembourg; AAI CATC in Allahabad, India; and DGAC/DSNA at Charles De Gaulle and Orly Airports in Paris, France and was recently selected by NAV CANADA for deployment to eleven (11) facilities for ATC training. ATCoach is used in the FAA Standard Terminal Automation Replacement System (STARS) and the En Route Automation Modernization (ERAM) Systems at all FAA and US Military facilities, deployed to a number of FAA CTI schools and several international ATC training institutions including the DFS in Germany.
