CSC Expands Air Traffic Management Capabilities

CSC has purchased Xavius Software LLC's air traffic control (ATC) simulator technology suite to expand the company's air traffic management capabilities. With the new technology, CSC will provide customers with advanced simulation solutions and software applications to support ATC training, air space and surface management simulation, and advanced concept design. In addition, the technology will support the company's Training and Simulation High Growth Market organization, which aims to develop and deliver improved training solutions across the entire federal marketplace.

Xavius' suite of technologies includes a full-scale ATC radar training simulator, air traffic management tools and an integrated control tower simulator that supports a range of configurations from single-display desktops to full 360-degree virtual control tower rooms. The technology suite currently supports worldwide training and simulation needs for government and academic institutions, including the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the Universities of Alaska and Maryland, as well as the Embry Riddle Aeronautical University in Florida.

CSC's wide range of air traffic management services includes the FAA's Traffic Flow Management Modernization (TFMM), Traffic Management Advisor (TMA) and Direct User Access Terminal Service (DUATS), as well as the U.S. Air Force's Flight Planning Systems (Air Mobility Command) and the U.S. Army's Flight School XXI.

Xavius Software LLC was a privately held company founded in 1997 with the development and introduction of the first truly authentic Air Traffic Control (ATC) radar simulator for the PC. Since then, Xavius expanded its professional product offering with advanced ATC radar and integrated tower simulators. The Xavius mission is to provide low-cost ATC software and hardware by developing custom solutions that integrate modern, off-the-shelf products with existing hardware, software and operating procedures.
