New Digital Tower Simulation Debuts at Airspace World

Adacel and ADB SAFEGATE will debut a demonstration of their combined solution for an Integrated Digital Tower System (IDTS), enhanced by advanced simulation capabilities, at CANSO’s Airspace World 2025 from May 13-15, stand H21130.

The demo will showcase the tangible results of Adacel and ADB SAFEGATE’s ongoing collaboration, delivering a comprehensive solution for all types of IDTS including Digital Towers, Hybrid Towers, Remote Tower Centers, and Contingency Towers.

Built upon Adacel’s FAST tool (Framework for Accelerating System Training) with ADB SAFEGATE’s OneControl Tower Solution and Adacel’s REVAL Digital Tower, this integrated demonstration delivers a platform for training, testing, and operations. By integrating REVAL’s video-based platform with OneControl’s controller working position, this solution provides air traffic controllers with capabilities for Advanced Surface Movement Guidance and Control (A-SMGCS), Electronic Flight Strips (EFS), Airspace Situation Display (ASD), Departure Management (DMAN) and other Tower automation modules. This IDTS solution is enhanced by the advanced simulation and stimulation capabilities of Adacel’s MaxSim to create a fully integrated and immersive environment for IDTS training and testing.

“The partnership between ADB SAFEGATE and Adacel proposes a unique value proposition and will continue to evolve to offer even more to our customers,” Laurent Dubois, CEO of ADB SAFEGATE. “By integrating OneControl’s cutting-edge tower automation tools with REVAL’s visual system and coupling it with advanced simulation, we’re offering a powerful solution that addresses two of the most critical needs in today’s ATC environment: seamless system integration and effective testing and training through realistic simulation.”
