Archive News in Year 2008December 2008ST Electronics Delivers Air Traffic Control Radar Simulator for the Hong Kong Civil Aviation Department Singapore, 1 December 2008 — Singapore Technologies Electronics Limited, through its wholly-owned subsidiary ST Electronics (Info-Software Systems) Pte Ltd, successfully completed a project to design and install an advanced Air Traffic Control (ATC) Radar Simulator for the Civil Aviation Department (CAD) in Hong Kong, China. The contract was awarded as a result of a successful tender involving other leading suppliers of ATC simulators from around the world. The advanced ATC Radar Simulator facilitates realistic training in the full spectrum of radar operations – from approach and departure phases to the en-route phase of flight. The system includes dedicated controller training positions, pseudo-pilots and instructor workstations. An integrated communications network provides associated radio frequencies, intercom and telephones for simulation of ATC operations. The simulator system is capable of recording audio and video data that can be synchronised and played back for de-briefing purposes. An added feature of the system is voice synthesis and recognition which has been customised for specific training scenarios. Each controller training position is fully customised and equipped with relevant ATC tools such as electronic flight progress strips, aeronautical information displays (eg. meteorological data, NOTAMS, NAVAID and equipment status), radar displays and flight progress boards. Through the simulation software, the airspaces and air routes within the Hong Kong Flight Information Region were created to immerse trainees in an environment very similar to the live situations. Another significant feature is the simulation of the full suite of aircraft emergencies to enable controllers to develop critical skills in handling abnormal situations. All of these features can be pre-programmed in advance or injected real-time by instructors, to test trainees’ reaction and application of relevant ATC and emergency procedures. The ATC Radar Simulator facilitates the conduct of rigorous instructional sessions to enable trainees to receive complete training based on the actual ATC environment and operations of aircraft. This will enable them to develop highly specialised skills in radar operations and be better prepared for the transition to on-the-job training at the ATC operational units. As a result, time, resources and costs will be reduced significantly. The simulator system can also be used to test new procedures to cater for future increases in air traffic and changes at the airports and airspaces (eg. new air routes, re-sectorisation).
