Simulations and validation

Assisting you in testing and validating your cutting-edge solutions.

About

We are specialised in providing simulation and validation services and developing solutions in the field of air traffic management.

Our work is instrumental in assessing the operational performance of air traffic control systems at airports, in the communications, navigation, surveillance domain, and in the airspace. We have an experienced team, enjoy a longstanding cooperation with the wider air traffic management community. We have accumulated over 50 years of experience and were the first centre in the world to run end-to-end digital real-time simulations.

Our services are part of the support provided by the EUROCONTROL Network Manager to meet the Single European Sky performance targets and contribute to the validation of future network air traffic management concepts.
