Controlled Airspace Synthetic Environment (Case)

The Controlled Airspace Synthetic Environment, or CASE, is an advanced training system designed to replicate the entire airspace system from gate to gate. This simulator captures every event that happens within its defined scenarios. It models the performance profiles of various aircraft and ground vehicles, allowing for a comprehensive analysis of operations. CASE evaluates key aspects such as congestion, sector loading, and the frequency of separation threshold violations. Additionally, it tracks the number of aircraft managed by each control station. The main components of CASE include a Central Processing Suite, up to thirty-five pilot and controller operator workstations, an exercise preparation system, and robust voice and data communication networks. Developed by AMS (Alenia Marconi Systems), CASE stands out as an essential tool for air traffic management training.
