UFA’s work with IAA during their airport-wide Emergency Team Coordination Training drills introduced the use of high fidelity ATTower® Air Traffic Control Tower simulation linked with ATVehicle™ Airside Driving Simulation. Introduction of the linked simulation capability allowed for the creation of complex, real-world scenarios for realistic training of coordination between all airport groups, including Ground Operations, Fire and Rescue Services, Security, and Air Traffic Control.
