The ATM-Simulation department analyses and evaluates new concepts and technologies for air traffic management in realistic working environments. For that, the Air Traffic Validation Center, an integrated complex of onboard and ground simulators, is used.
The department was established for the support of professional research and development in the Institute of Flight Guidance. In addition, the department is also a qualified unit which carries out scientific work in the fields of simulation technologies in aviation and transport, measuring and evaluation techniques in complex systems in association with the human operators and test scenarios for air traffic control procedures.
