Adacel Technologies Limited (Adacel or the Company) announced that it has been granted a new contract by the United States Air Force (USAF) to continue its long-standing service provision for the USAF’s Tower Simulator System (TSS) program. The contract specifies a base year period of performance and an option to extend for four additional years, prolonging Adacel’s support though to the end February 2029.

The USAF TSS program scope of work for Adacel includes Program Management, TSS System Performance of minimum operational Availably Rate, TSS Maintenance Support, TSSC operations, TSS Technical Support, System Relocations, TSS Site Activation and Deployment activities, Visual Database (VDB) and model development and modifications, and software enhancements.

Looking ahead, our commitment to delivering premier, tailor-made ATC training solutions to the USAF remains firm. Our involvement in the world’s largest military TSS program is a testament to Adacel’s core value of empowering our customers and teams to reach their utmost potential.
