At Simtek, we don’t just react to where training is today—we build for where it’s going next.
Simtek innovates today for tomorrow’s simulated avionics platforms.
As aircraft evolve, missions become more complex, and training demands increase, simulators need hardware that can keep up. That’s why we’re constantly pushing the boundaries of high-fidelity simulated avionics for both military and commercial platforms.
From Next-Gen Fighters to Commercial Trainers
Whether you’re supporting advanced combat training or day-one pilot instruction, your simulators deserve hardware that feels like it belongs in tomorrow’s cockpit—not yesterday’s.
Simtek designs and manufactures high-fidelity solutions for:
Next-gen fighters – Complex, integrated avionics suites with advanced mission systems
Legacy and 4th-gen platforms – Sustainment, refresh, and hybrid cockpit environments
Commercial trainers – A320, 737, and other airline and regional platforms
Custom devices – Unique or mixed fleets with specialized training requirements
Our control panels, displays, and instruments are engineered to stay relevant as your aircraft and training systems evolve.
High-Fidelity Hardware That Stays Ahead
Simulation isn’t a one-and-done investment. Platforms change, software updates, and new training requirements show up every year. Your hardware needs to be able to grow and adapt.
We focus on:
High fidelity – Realistic tactile feel, layouts, backlighting, and behavior
Smart integration – Thoughtful electrical and mechanical design for easier upgrades
Longevity – Robust construction suitable for heavy, long-term training use
From next-gen fighters to commercial trainers, we’re pushing high-fidelity hardware so your simulators stay ahead of the mission, the syllabus, and the technology curve.
Staying Ahead of the Mission, the Syllabus, and the Tech Curve
Modern training programs can’t afford hardware that lags behind:
Mission changes – New tactics, new mission sets, new systems
Syllabus updates – Evolving standards and regulatory requirements
Technology shifts – New avionics, new HMI concepts, new display philosophies
Simtek’s approach is to design simulated avionics with future growth in mind—so your devices can be upgraded and adapted instead of completely replaced every time requirements change.
Innovation Rooted in Real Programs
Our innovation isn’t just theoretical—it’s driven by real customer needs:
Programs needing to bring legacy platforms into modern simulation
Training centers expanding from single-platform to multi-platform fleets
OEMs seeking a trusted hardware partner that understands avionics and integration
Mission-focused customers who need simulation to match operational reality
We listen, we collaborate, and we turn tough requirements into practical, high-fidelity hardware.
If you’re planning your next generation of simulators—or upgrading the ones you already have—Simtek is ready to help you build simulated avionics that are ready not just for today, but for tomorrow.
