Adacel and ADB Safegate debuted a demonstration of their combined solution for an Integrated Digital Tower System (IDTS), enhanced by advanced simulation capabilities, at CANSO’s Airspace World 2025.

The innovative demonstration showcased the tangible results of Adacel and ADB SAFEGATE’s ongoing collaboration, delivering a comprehensive solution for all types of  IDTS including Digital Towers, Hybrid Towers, Remote Tower Centers, and Contingency 
Towers.

Built upon Adacel’s innovative FAST tool (Framework for Accelerating System Training) with ADB Safegate’s OneControl Tower Solution and Adacel’s REVAL Digital Tower, this integrated demonstration delivers a robust platform for training, testing, and operational 
excellence.

By seamlessly integrating REVAL’s video-based platform with OneControl’s cutting-edge controller working position, this solution provides air traffic controllers with exclusive capabilities for Advanced Surface Movement Guidance and Control (ASMGCS), Electronic Flight Strips (EFS), Airspace Situation Display (ASD), Departure Management (DMAN) and other Tower automation modules. This IDTS solution is enhanced by the advanced simulation and stimulation capabilities of Adacel’s MaxSim  to create a fully integrated and immersive environment for IDTS training and testing.

“We are excited to introduce this demo, which is operationally viable today, not just  conceptual,” said Daniel Verret, CEO of Adacel. “It highlights the complementary strengths of Adacel and ADB SAFEGATE in delivering a best-in-class, fully integrated IDTS solution supported by advanced simulation. Together, we offer a compelling and scalable solution that sets a new benchmark for Integrated Digital Tower Systems  worldwide.” 

“The partnership between ADB Safegate and Adacel proposes a unique value proposition and will continue to evolve to offer even more to our customers,” said Laurent  Dubois, CEO of ADB SAFEGATE. “By integrating OneControl’s cutting-edge tower 
automation tools with REVAL’s visual system and coupling it with advanced simulation, we’re offering a powerful solution that addresses two of the most critical needs in today’s ATC environment: seamless system integration and effective testing and training 
through realistic simulation.”
