Services
FRA’s core competencies in aircraft system integration stem from early involvement in NASA’s aerospace modeling and simulation activities. FRA has contributed to the development and operation of NASA’s Virtual Airspace Simulation Technology (VAST). FRA has also been instrumental in UAS and UAM research utilizing Live-Virtual-Constructive (LVC) distributed environments.
​
FRA has the knowledge and experience required to design and develop new simulators and/or simulation capabilities and seamlessly integrate and verify system upgrades.
Our engineers integrate advanced technology capabilities into simulation systems, including the development of advanced engineering techniques to improve simulation fidelity and validity.
Their expertise in end-to-end simulation design and implementation includes the ability to design, run, and test networks, software and hardware infrastructure, software system architecture, and system interoperability.
Our systems engineers impact the broader aviation ecosystem through designing air traffic management systems for novel concepts and the next generation of commercial air transport, looking towards urban air mobility, air taxis, and integrated fleet management solutions.
