Air traffic and defence software developer, Adacel (ASX:ADA) has received an additional order for around $2.5 million (US$1.8 million) to supply its MaxSim air traffic control Tower Simulator Systems (TSS) to the United States Marine Corps (USMC). The towers are being acquired as an option under a contract announced in October 2005.
The USMC will use the new simulators to enhance their training
capabilities at Air Stations in Yuma (Arizona), New River (North
Carolina), Camp Pendleton (California) and Iwakuni (Japan).
Adacel’s managing director, Silvio Salom, said today that the latest
order brings the total number of installations in the USMC to seven.
“This extension of the original agreement continues the wide
distribution of the Adacel MaxSim system throughout the US defence
forces,” Mr Salom said.
Over the last three years, Adacel has established itself as a leading
provider of air traffic control training simulators by winning key
civil and military contracts. In addition to the United States Marine
Corps, Adacel is the supplier of ATC tower simulation systems for the United States Air Force, the United States Army, and the
Federal Aviation Administration, Civil Aviation Authorities in Europe
and the Middle East, as well as a number of prestigious aviation
universities around the world.
