This installation is the seventeenth (17) ATTower Tower Simulation System employed in support of the US Army and Army National Guard (ARNG) with full ATVoice Voice Recognition and Response capability. US Army installations include Illesheim, Germany and Fort Drum, New York. The National Guard Bureau (NGB) currently has fourteen (14) ATTower Desktop Tower Training Systems (DTTS) located at ARNG sites around the country. The system integrates state of the art ATView 3D Graphics with simulated weather information, integrated radar displays, ATRadio ETVS simulated VCS and various other simulated tower systems to provide high fidelity training capability. UFAs ATVoice Voice Recognition and Pilot Response system is used to automate the execution of Controller clearances and generate the appropriate pilot responses.
