Building a Simulation Environment for Air Traffic Management

The next generation Air Traffic Management systems are being developed in the US and Europe under the Next Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen) and Single European Sky ATM Research (SESAR) programs respectively. This requires significant concept development, research, engineering, validation and demonstration. All of these are being supported by simulation.

The military and other Government agencies are starting to make greater use of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) that must also fly through the commercial airspace and mix with civilian air traffic. Enabling this will take several years to achieve and require significant ongoing research and development and collaborative efforts between the ATM providers, military, local agencies, and prime contractors.

What is required is a collaborative, distributed modeling and simulation environment ideal for simulating and visualizing the next generation ATM systems and airspace. VT MÄK’s suite of products can help make this a reality. This webinar will explain how MÄK’s products can help:

• Link disparate simulations and real systems into an integrated simulation-based experimentation and integration environment;
• Create a common synthetic environment for all participants;
• Provide a flexible 3D visualization of the simulation from multiple different perspectives; and
• Supplement existing simulations with representations of UAS’s, ground traffic, military aircraft and the ATM communications network.
