Burlington, MA., July 19, 2018 – UFA, Inc. (UFA), a leading provider of Air Traffic Simulation and Voice Technologies, announced that it has delivered its ATTower® Tower Simulator to Fort Huachuca’s Libby Army Airfield. UFA was awarded the contract with Fort Huachuca in December 2017 via a competitive selection process. Subsequently, UFA received an order to upgrade the visual system to a 7-channel configuration.
UFA delivered a turn key 4-channel ATTower Simulator, complete with the local Libby Army Airfield airport visual database and five (5) additional airport visual databases from UFA’s extensive library. In addition to supporting Tower training, the included Fixed Based Precision Approach Radar (FBPAR) Training System allows independent Ground Control Approach training or combined training with the Tower positions.
