NexSim Radar and Tower Simulators

Radar Simulator

ATC radar screenCSC's NexSim™ Radar Simulator provides off-the-shelf emulation of U.S. TRACON (STARS, ARTS IIIE, ACD) and en route (DSR/Host) radar and flight data systems, IDS information display and VSCS voice switching panels.

Our robust radar simulator was designed to support FAA controller training or FAA Collegiate Training Initiative (CTI) programs. Our customizable human machine interface (HMI) can accurately emulate any radar display in the world, from full-color digital to older monochrome analog displays.

The radar simulator supports a wide range of hardware, from full, multi-display consoles with 2Kx2K LCD monitors, thermal flight strip printers, custom keyboards and trackballs, to simpler tabletop systems using off-the-shelf PC displays, printers and input devices, to a stand-alone deployable laptop with peripherals.

Tower Simulator

Our NexSim Tower Simulator is a full-scale ATC simulator that supports installations from single desktops to seamless 360- degree wraparound displays. It offers the following features:

  • Single or dual local and ground controller positions
  • Flight data position with paper or electronic strip printing
  • Voice recognition or pseudo-pilot option
  • Stunning high-resolution visuals with "alive" out-the-window environment that includes active airport, ground vehicle, traffic and dynamic weather effects
  • Console display and controls include simulated ground radar (e.g., ASDE-X); local-control display (e.g., DBRITE, RACD and STARS); weather and information displays; airfield lighting controls, etc.
  • Full touch screen voice-over-IP interphone and radio panels (DIS/HLA compatible)
  • Fully interfaces with the NexSim Technology Suite Radar Simulator to allow gate-to-gate scenarios that accurately emulate ATC operations
