Radar Training and Proficiency Simulator

Coach (Tactical Edition) is an

advanced, multi-purpose, real-time Air

Traffic Control (ATC) Simulator.

Voice is a continuous speaker

independent voice recognition and

response system designed to

automatically act as the pilots during a

simulation.

UFA combines ATCoach and ATVoice to

produce the AN/TPN-18, AN/TPN-31 &

AN/FPN-67 Radar Training & Proficiency

Simulator.

The simulator’s core capabilities include:

Arrival Control

Final Control - Surveillance Approaches

Final Control - Precision Approaches

Instructor Station Control

Voice Recognition and Response Control

Multiple radar model emulation; AN/TPN-18,

AN/TPN-31, and the AN/FPN-67 are supported.

A console version of this system is in use at Fort

Rucker, AL as their primary training device

during the radar phase of the Air Traffic Control

Operator course.

The system allows the instructor to simulate

virtually any air traffic situation and manipulate

the events during a scenario to meet specific

training objectives.

The system allows the student positions to

operate in either Airport Surveillance Radar

(ASR) Arrival or Final Mode. In Final Mode,

surveillance (ASR) or precision approach (PAR)

mode may be selected.

A desktop version is used at all Army National

Guard Air Traffic Service Unit locations, and is

being fielded at the following Active Army

locations:

US ARNG: Arkansas - Arizona - Florida - Indiana -

Louisiana - Maryland -Massachusetts -

Minnesota - Mississippi - North Carolina -

Oklahoma - Pennsylvania - Tennessee - Texas

US Army: Alabama - California – Georgia - Kansas -

Kentucky - New York - Texas – Afghanistan -

Germany - Iraq - Korea - Kuwait

Simulator Features

Displays

ATCoach provides the user with the flexibility to

customize and/or control the display to their

individual preferences.

Depending on the mode selected, the displays will

realistically depict the look and feel of the AN/TPN-

18, AN/TPN-31, or AN/FPN-67 radar systems.

At the Arrival position, a circular Planned Position

Indicator search display is presented. At the Final

position, in PAR mode, a dual beta display that

depicts the azimuth and elevation cursor is displayed.

AN/TPN-31 ASR Display

Weather & Clutter

Clutter and precipitation may be displayed at any

time, position, heading and speed by the user.

Wind may be enabled or disabled as desired. Up to 20

different layers may be activated at a time.

Exercise Characteristics

Exercise scenarios can be easily created or modified

using the data preparation tools.

The instructor position can assume complete control

over the controller positions, aircraft, and events

within an exercise.

Events or actions can be preprogrammed, and

triggered at any time during the scenario.

Popup aircraft may be generated and entered into the

exercise at any time.

ATExpert monitors ATC rules prescribed by FAA

Order 7110.65 during each exercise. If a rule is

violated, the expert window appears and cites the

specific rule both audibly and visually.

Voice Recognition & Response

ATVoice software provides voice recognition and

pilot response capabilities at each radar position.

A voice recognition monitor window is available for

each radar position to view phraseology and

commands as each transmission is made.

Exercises are recorded for synchronized playback

with Controller voice input. Each radar position is

recorded independently and can be played back either

individually or simultaneously.
