Pilot training and flight simulation
Products named: SERA (Simulated Environment for Realistic ATC); Voisus; Telestra; Solo; CommCheck
| What they offer | ASTi sells simulated air traffic control and radio communications for flight simulators and VR trainers: SERA lets student pilots make radio calls to AI-driven controllers and traffic, while Voisus and Telestra simulate radios, intercoms and aircraft sound. |
|---|---|
| Who they serve | ASTi serves military and civil flight training; it describes SERA in a U.S. Army VR initial flight training program, and its products run in air, land and sea simulators. |
| How it is delivered | ASTi sells commercial off-the-shelf products that plug into existing simulators; SERA can run on one central virtual machine that serves many VR trainers at once. VR headset: yes; Desktop or browser: yes; Mobile: yes; Offline: not published; Classified: yes |
| Assessment and analytics | ASTi says SERA scores student performance objectively and keeps flight history transcripts, performance metrics and past student responses for instructors to review. |
| AI features | ASTi says SERA uses speech recognition and artificially intelligent controllers and traffic, so students practice radio calls without an instructor role-playing air traffic control. |
| Notable public programs and contracts | ASTi describes adding SERA to a U.S. Army VR initial flight training program; USAspending shows a 2025 Air Force order for SERA to act as AI role-players when training pilots and air traffic controllers. |
| How to buy | ASTi lists contract vehicles including Training and Readiness Accelerator II (TReX II), the Naval Aviation Systems Consortium, NASA SEWP and an AFLCMC/XA IDIQ. |
