Enhanced Tower Operator Simulator (ETOS)

Orlando, FL

The Enhanced Tower Operator Simulator (ETOS) is a planned replacement for the outdated Data Automated Tower Simulator (DATS) in the U.S. Army Air Traffic Control (ATC) School at Ft. Rucker, Alabama. PEO STRI awarded a contract in June 2002 for eight systems. The ETOS will support Air Traffic Control tower instruction in the ATC School. This simulator provides controllers the tools to improve situational awareness, decision making, effective communication, and workload management that encompass the core curriculum of the ATC School. The system also provides timely controller information and support necessary to accomplish safe separation requirements between aircraft and obstacles, provides visually verifiable weather conditions, and accomplishes expeditious and positive control of air traffic in a military control tower environment.
