Few aircraft have a legacy like the B-52. As a long-range, multi-role platform serving decade after decade, the BUFF remains a critical asset for global operations.
At Simtek Inc., we’re proud to support that mission by delivering high-fidelity simulated avionics tailored specifically for B-52 training environments.
From the flight deck of the legendary B-52 to the training center, Simtek’s high-fidelity simulated avionics make the cockpit feel like the real thing.
Making the BUFF Cockpit Feel Real
Our B-52 solutions include:
Control panels designed with accurate layouts and tactile switch feel
Displays that integrate with your software and system architecture
Instruments that visually and functionally match the aircraft’s systems
Each component is engineered for form, fit, and function, so when crews step into a Simtek-equipped B-52 simulator, they recognize the cockpit immediately. That familiarity is key to building confidence and procedural accuracy.
Built So Crews Can Train Hard and Repeat Often
Effective training isn’t about a one-time event—it’s about repetition and realism.
Simtek’s B-52 simulated avionics are built so crews can:
Train hard on real-world procedures and mission profiles
Repeat often, reinforcing checklists, flows, and coordination
Stay mission ready with consistent, reliable hardware support
Our panels, displays, and instruments are built to match the BUFF so your crews can train hard, repeat often, and stay mission ready.
With robust construction and long-term maintainability in mind, our hardware is designed to withstand the high utilization that military training devices demand.
Supporting Training Centers, Integrators, and the Warfighter
Simtek works closely with:
Training centers managing long-term B-52 programs
OEMs and integrators building or upgrading simulators
Military customers focused on readiness and capability
By delivering mission-real simulated avionics, we help ensure the training environment keeps pace with operational demands—so crews can focus on the mission, not the hardware.
If you’re developing or sustaining B-52 training systems and need high-fidelity simulated avionics that truly match the BUFF cockpit, Simtek is ready to help.
