Kongsberg Geospatial Announces the Acquisition of I-SIM Software Suite by ATAC
Kongsberg Geospatial announces the sale of its Integrated Simulation (I-SIM) software suite to ATAC, enhancing ATC training and operational simulation capabilities. I-SIM’s radar-based simulation technology, proven in FAA training programs, will now benefit from ATAC's extensive experience in aviation modeling. This partnership reinforces I-SIM's role as a premier ATC simulation platform, advancing training programs for FAA, NASA, and the U.S. Navy.
Kongsberg Geospatial, a leader in situational awareness software, has announced the sale of its I-SIM simulation software to ATAC. With over two decades of development, I-SIM has earned a trusted reputation as a radar-based air traffic control (ATC) simulation solution. Used by the FAA for high-stakes ATC simulations and procedural testing, I-SIM allows controllers to gain hands-on experience across diverse airspace scenarios. This acquisition merges Kongsberg Geospatial's advanced simulation technologies with ATAC’s vast experience, optimizing I-SIM to meet critical industry needs. The collaboration ensures I-SIM’s continued evolution as a vital ATC training tool, supporting the FAA, NASA, the U.S. Navy, and beyond. Meanwhile, Kongsberg Geospatial will maintain its focus on delivering mission-critical solutions in defense, aerospace, and unmanned systems with its TerraLens SDK and other advanced software.
Ottawa, Canada – October 18, 2024 – Kongsberg Geospatial, a leading provider of precision real-time situational awareness software, is pleased to announce the sale of its Integrated Simulation (I-SIM) software suite to ATAC. The I-SIM system, a proven radar-based Air Traffic Control (ATC)simulation solution, has served as a critical tool in airspace management training and operational testing for over two decades.
Since its inception for the FAA Civil Aerospace Medical Institute (CAMI) in 1998, I-SIM has been trusted by the FAA for Human-In-The-Loop (HITL) ATC simulations, enabling controllers to test new procedures and engage in high-fidelity training across various operational scenarios. With I-SIM, ATC professionals gain the hands-on, real-world experience needed to address today’s complex airspace environments.
The acquisition will integrate Kongsberg Geospatial’s innovative simulation capabilities with ATAC’s 45+ years of experience in air traffic simulation and analysis, further enhancing I-SIM’s effectiveness for FAA, NASA, the U.S. Navy, and academic training programs. This synergy will help to sustain I-SIM as the premier radar-based ATC simulation platform, supporting ATAC’s goal of delivering top-tier aviation modeling, simulation, and airspace training solutions to meet critical industry needs.
“Kongsberg Geospatial has always focused on developing reliable, high-performance simulation and visualization tools that enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of our users,” said Jordan Freed, President of Kongsberg Geospatial. “This acquisition allows I-SIM to continue its legacy as an integral ATC training and simulation solution, benefitting from ATAC’s extensive experience and commitment to the aviation community.”
With this acquisition, Kongsberg Geospatial will continue to focus on its core mission of delivering mission-critical situational awareness solutions for defense, aerospace, and unmanned systems. The company’s portfolio, including the TerraLens SDK, powers a range of high-performance systems deployed across defense and commercial applications worldwide.
