Adacel Technologies Limited (Adacel) and Smart Eye announced a strategic collaboration to integrate Smart Eye’s eye tracking technology into Adacel’s MaxSim air traffic control (ATC) simulation platform.

The collaboration aims to enhance ATC training by providing deeper insights into controller attention, decision-making, and situational awareness within MaxSim’s simulation environments. By combining Adacel’s simulation expertise with Smart Eye’s technology, the partnership was expected to deliver a more data-driven training experience for air traffic controllers.

"Trusted by the FAA, U.S. Air Force, and U.S. Army, our simulation platforms prepare controllers for the most complex and high-stakes operations,"said Michael Saunders, Vice President of Adacel. "Partnering with Smart Eye now brings advanced eye tracking analytics into MaxSim, giving instructors unprecedented insight into attention, decision-making, and situational awareness — further enhancing safety and training effectiveness,”

Smart Eye’s eye tracking technology was set to provide analytics on trainee performance, enabling instructors to identify areas for improvement and accelerate learning outcomes. The integration would initially focus on ATC training scenarios to improve controller proficiency and safety in complex airspace operations.

The collaboration was planned to be showcased at upcoming industry events.
