ATOL is a World-unique lab facility that supports investigations / proof-of-concept studies to explore NextGen operations, procedures, and technologies. ATOL was originally created to fill a research gap at LaRC between low fidelity desk-top simulations and the high fidelity Cockpit Motion Facility for human-in-the-loop studies. Development began more than 10 years ago to study new ATM concept feasibility and distributed ATM flight deck capabilities in the en-route domain. First formal experiment in 2001. Capability was created as research requirements/goals dictated. Development philosophy is to develop models to the level of fidelity needed for studies. Simulation has numerous models/capabilities at varying levels of fidelity.
