Gallium releases InterMAPhics 6 2D/3D, the most advanced ATC & Defense visualization software to date.

Gallium has announced the release and immediate delivery of its InterMAPhics 6 2D/3D software for developing high-performance tactical displays.

Washington, DC, Air Traffic Control Association Annual Meeting, October 28, 2003 - InterMAPhics 6 2D/3D represents the most advanced and easiest to use mapping and tracking software components released by Gallium Software to date. As the world leader in Defense and ATC display software Gallium has set a new level of capability and performance for performance-critical displays requiring high capacity map and track display.

Gallium demonstrates Air Control Environment Simulator (ACES) technology.

Gallium is demonstrating its high-fidelity Air Control Environment Simulator (ACES) technology publicly for the first time at ATCA 2003 in Booth 115/117.

Washington, DC, Air Traffic Control Association Annual Meeting, October 28, 2003 - In the first public demonstration of Gallium's advanced "Air Control Environment Simulator" (ACES) technology. Gallium showed the simulator driving several FAA en-route ATC displays with controller and pseudo pilot positions. The exercise showed how the high fidelity simulation software faithfully positioned the planes and responded to the pilot's commands. The controllers used FAA Display System Replacement (DSR) work-alike consoles and simulated radio voice communications to direct the pseudo pilots as in an actual control room environment. The ACES technology, developed jointly with FAA Civil AeroMedical Institute (CAMI) in Oklahoma City, is currently being used there for human factors studies and shows promise as a tool for airspace analysis, redesign and for controller training. The Scenario Editor for creating and editing air traffic scenarios was also demonstrated showing how easily flight plans, air traffic, auto-controller instructions and auto-pilot responses can be entered.

Gallium delivers Advanced ATC Simulator to the FAA for Human Factors testing and other potential roles.

Gallium and CAMI collaboration produce a multi-purpose Advanced ATC Simulator to improve Air Traffic Management.

Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, June 20, 2003 - Gallium Software has delivered a new en-route ATC Simulation system to the FAA Civil Aerospace Medical Institute (CAMI) in Oklahoma City. Known as the Air Traffic Control Advanced Research Simulator (ATCARS), it provides high-fidelity flight simulation to DSR look-alike controller positions. Developed initially to facilitate human factors studies, ATCARS is also well suited to en-route controller training and air space redesign. ATCARS supports multiple pilot positions and en-route sectors in a single center using graphically defined air traffic scenarios.
