Micro Nav has offered BEST Remote for years as part of its single-solution ATC simulation suite, BEST (Beginning to End for Simulation and Training).
The COVID-19 pandemic has seen a dramatic change in circumstances and impacted working patterns that are unlikely to change in the immediate future. More work is delivered remotely, and this has brought the existing capability of BEST Remote into focus and led to an increase in Micro Nav's customers moving to a remote method of working with their simulators.
BEST Remote delivers seamless collaboration by taking all the features of BEST and extending the capabilities to allow simulations to be run, regardless of geographic location, including connecting multiple BEST ATC systems for remote training or joint simulations.
BEST ATC simulation software has always worked on a private cloud. Now, it's been trialled and tested for larger, commercially available Cloud platforms, for example, Microsoft Azure.
Running the BEST ATC simulation in the Cloud provides the user with the full capability of the BEST product, with the complete system functionality and data being the same as used on any physical BEST system.
This flexibility will enable Micro Nav's broad range of customers to use BEST Remote as part of their recovery plans, including some initial quick wins;
Ensuring Air Traffic Controllers remain current and maintain their competence levels
Continue or re-start their training programmes
Utilise remote pilots to help run exercises
Scale their operation to meet demand and support their training delivery where the infrastructure needs to account for social distancing
Since 1988, Micro Nav is the award-winning first choice for ATC simulation solutions, trusted by Air Navigation Service Providers, academic establishments, airports, and the military worldwide.
