The C-130 Hercules  is a true tactical workhorse—moving people, equipment, and capability wherever the mission requires. At Simtek Inc. , we’re proud to support that mission by delivering high-fidelity simulated avionics  purpose-built for C-130 training environments. From initial qualification to advanced mission rehearsal, our goal is simple: give aircrews a simulator cockpit that looks, feels, and operates like the real aircraft. Cockpit Hardware Engineered for Form, Fit,

Simtek Simulated avionics - Train Like It's Real In training and test environments, accuracy isn’t a luxury—it’s the entire point. Whether you’re preparing pilots for real-world scenarios, validating procedures, or building confidence in complex systems, the simulator has one job: reflect reality so well that the skills transfer cleanly to the aircraft. That’s where high-fidelity simulation  changes the game. When the details are right—behavior, feel, response, timing, and..

Simtek NH-90 Simulated Avionics Modern NH-90 training devices demand more than “it lights up and looks right.” Prime contractors and simulator OEMs are under pressure to deliver high-fidelity, high-availability training systems that integrate cleanly, survive heavy use, and stay supportable for years—often across multiple customers, configurations, and upgrade cycles. That’s why primes choose Simtek  when the requirement is NH-90 simulated avionics  that performs like the rea

Simtek F-16 Simulator At Simtek , everything we build comes back to one core purpose: supporting the warfighter . We design and manufacture high-fidelity simulated avionics  so that pilots and aircrews can train in environments that feel as real as the aircraft they’ll fly in theater. When training matters, the hardware behind that training matters even more. Making Training Feel Like the Real Thing Our product line spans: Control panels Displays Instruments Each piece is eng

Simtek F-16 - Mixed Reality When “good enough” breaks, training stops. Mixed reality (MR) is changing how aircrews train. Instead of relying solely on full-motion devices or purely virtual cockpits, MR platforms blend real tactile hardware with immersive digital environments. Done right, MR lets crews build muscle memory, execute true-to-life procedures, and repeat complex scenarios—faster, safer, and at a lower lifecycle cost than traditional training paths. That “done right

https://www.simtekinc.com/projects/t-6-texas When primes build or refresh a T-6 training device, the mission is clear: deliver repeatable, reliable training that produces confident pilots—without losing time to hardware integration surprises, schedule slips, or fidelity gaps. That’s why primes choose Simtek  for T-6 high-fidelity simulated avionics . We design and manufacture simulator-grade control panels, displays, and instruments that help integrators hit performance requi

At Simtek , we manufacture high-fidelity simulated avionics with zero compromise . In the world of professional flight training, “close enough” simply isn’t good enough. Pilots, crews, and customers demand simulators that look, feel, and operate like the real aircraft—and that’s exactly what our hardware is built to deliver. Built for Form, Fit, and Function From control panels and displays  to complex instruments , every Simtek component is engineered for: Form  – Correct ph

When most people think of Simtek, they think high-fidelity simulated avionics —panels, displays, instruments, and controls that look, feel, and operate like the real OEM hardware. That reputation is earned. But it’s not the whole story. Beyond Avionics Starts With a Simple Question As training systems evolve, our customers are asking for more than cockpit avionics. They’re asking for complete, realistic training environments—equipment that supports real procedures, real workf

Why CH-47 Fidelity Matters The CH-47 Chinook is built for demanding missions—heavy lift, sling load operations, shipboard and austere environments, NVG operations, and complex crew coordination. When a training device doesn’t feel right, crews notice. Small mismatches in switch feel, annunciation behavior, lighting, or panel layout can undermine training value and increase integration risk. Prime contractors aren’t just buying parts—they’re buying fidelity, schedule confidenc

In flight simulation, hardware isn’t just hardware—it’s the difference between a trainer that stays online and one that constantly fights downtime. Whether you’re building a new device, upgrading a legacy simulator, or sustaining a fleet over decades, you need cockpit components that are: built for high-cycle training use consistent across devices supportable long after typical electronics go obsolete backed by a supplier who responds fast when training schedules are at risk

Euless, Texas — January 5, 2026 Simtek is proud to announce we have been awarded contracts to deliver Qty 7 shipsets  and Qty 11 shipsets  supporting multiple C-130J flight simulator cockpit configurations . This award expands Simtek’s role in delivering rugged, high-fidelity simulated avionics hardware built for demanding training environments. Supporting Multiple Cockpit Configurations The program scope includes a tailored mix of simulated control panels, cockpit displays,

When a simulator program is on the line, there are three hardware categories that can make—or break—training uptime: Instruments  (gauges, indicators, standby units, and specialty controls) Displays  (glass cockpit displays, ruggedized display solutions, and integrated visual interfaces) Panels  (control panels, pedestal panels, overhead panels, and mission-specific assemblies) At Simtek , these aren’t side offerings. They’re what we do—every day. We supply simulated flight s
