May 5, 2010) - Adacel (ASX:ADA) announced it has been awarded a contract from the Ukrainian State Air Traffic Service Enterprise (UkSATSE) for the provision of a network of Air Traffic Control (ATC) simulators to be installed at locations throughout Ukraine.  

Under the terms of the contract, Adacel will supply one full-sized 360-degree MaxSim control tower simulator, nine smaller footprint MaxSim tower simulators and nine detailed airport visual databases. 

The ATC simulators will be distributed to the UkSATSE Training and Certification Center in Kyiv and to seven key airports throughout Ukraine, including international airports at Donetsk, Lviv, Kharkiv and Kyiv that will host the European Football Championship EURO2012.

Adacel’s ATC simulation systems have proven to be very effective in developing higher proficiency levels at an earlier stage in controller training. They reduce considerably the work involved in the conduct of training and can significantly decrease the length of the qualification period for controllers. The MaxSim ATC simulators have also proven to be a valuable tool to enable prior testing and training for procedural changes necessitated by temporary and permanent alterations to airports and airspace.  

Adacel’s technology revolutionizes speech applications for operational direct voice input control systems and interactive control of computer generated entities in training systems. The Company’s ATC simulators lead global efforts to safely optimize controller training.  Their Aurora ATM includes capabilities envisaged for FAA NextGen and EUROCONTROL SESAR programs; providing enabling technology for initiatives to promote airspace efficiency and reduce aviation related carbon emissions.
