ATM Validation and Training Platform

The ATRiCS ATM Validation and Training Platform (AVATOR) is a response to the increasing complexity of ATM systems at airports as well as the need to built up and maintain the required skills to operate such systems. Since 2005 AVATOR has proven to be a very powerful and cost-effective solution, especially when it comes to integrate advanced tower automation systems such as A-SMGCS, A-CDM or EFPS. It has proven to deliver the following benefits:


  • Operating Costs: With controllers entering their ATC clearances electronically AVATOR's text-to-speech module allows for operating even large scale setups without any pseudo pilots. In addition, the auto-control module allows to start with one staffed ATC working positions only.
  • Flexibility: Starting from a notebook setup for CBT or demonstration AVATOR can be extended up to a large scale, distributed 3D tower simulator with multiple towers and any number of integrated external cockpits
  • Cost-Effectiveness: With AVATOR's fully integrated suite of operational tower automation systems no extra development or integration effort is required to set up the world‘s most advanced validation and training platform
