The latest release (v2) of the CHILL/SIM-C platform was successfully demonstrated at the recent US Air Traffic Control Association Conference with our teammates at Lockheed Martin.

With a rich set of new modelling and analysis features, as well as the latest experimental Air Traffic Flow Management Decision Support Agents from Lockheed Martin's Transportation and Security Solutions air traffic management business, the platform was used to demonstrate System-wide and Regional Next-Generation Traffic Flow Management Concepts and potential solutions for User-oriented problem solving in the

ISA Software, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Technical Centre and the US Department of Defense (DoD) Wright-Patterson Airforce Base have selected the CHILL/SIM-C platform and architecture in support of modelling and simulation analysis of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) in the US National Airspace System.

The project team, which also includes partners from FAA Tech Centre, US DoD, US Air Force, ISA Software, CACI, and Booz Allen Hamilton are developing interoperable network based simulation models to help in the assessment of the impact of UAS operations on the civil airspace system.

The simulation and modelling platform based around the CHILL simulator and SIM-C network enabled architecture was succesfully shown on the Lockheed Martin Transport and Security Services booth at the recent ATCA 2007 conference in Washington D.C.
CHILL/MONACO, developed in collaboration with LM-TSS and General Electric Research, provided the audience with a first insight into innovative new ideas to support Air Traffic Flow Planning for the Next Generation ATM system and received excellent reviews.

AENA and its partners ISA Software and INDRA have succesfully completed their Real-Time Simulation trials to evaluate dynamic re-sectorisation concepts supported by the ISA Software/INDRA developed Enhanced Traffic-Load Monitor decision support tool.
The simulation was carried out over five days at the Sevilla Air Traffic Control facility in the scope of the EU 5th Framework Gate-to-Gate analysis project, and were innovative in the use of fast-time 'look-ahead' simulation modelling in support of real-time decision making policies.

Version 2 of the FAA SIM-C collaborative ATM modelling and prototyping platform has been delivered to the ISA Software LLC offices in central Washington D.C. today.
The modelling platform provides a fully functional model of a net-centric ATM architecture, and includes components and intelligent modelling agents in support of System-Wide Information Management (SWIM), Cooperative Air Traffic Flow Management (C-ATFM) and Distributed Decision-making from Airline Operations Centre Agents.
Activities sponsored by the FAA under the framework of the SETAII contrac

ISA Software LLC opened its new offices in Central Washington D.C. today. Located in the heart of Washingtons "Golden triangle", on Connecticut Avenue, the new facility is ideally located to continue supporting key US government clients and will host the FAA SIM-C collaborative ATM modelling platform which will be used to assess future operational concepts for the next generation US Air Traffic system.

In Washington D.C. today, FAA announced the award of the REAPS Contract Valued at $35 Million Over Five Years to the consortium led by CSSI, Inc. and including ISA Software LLC.
Through the Research, Engineering, Analysis and Policy Support (REAPS) contract, the consortium will provide high-level support to FAA’s Office of Operations Planning System Engineering, Office of Environment and Energy, and Airports Community and Environmental Needs Division. The contract is for five years and is valued at $35 million, if all options are exercised.
