Simtek: Your Supplier for Simulated Instruments, Displays, and Panels — In the U.S. and Worldwide

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 simulator instruments, displays, and panels to customers across the United States and globally, supporting everything from new-build devices to upgrades, retrofits, and long-term sustainment.
One Supplier. Three Critical Categories.
Simulated Instruments
Training environments punish instruments with repeated cycles and constant student/instructor interaction. Simtek builds and supports simulated instruments designed for:
durability under high-use training duty cycles
consistent feel and repeatable behavior
maintainable designs for long program life
practical sustainment and obsolescence solutions
Simulator Displays
Displays are the face of the cockpit—and one of the fastest failure points when supply chains get shaky. Simtek supports display sourcing and integration with a sustainment-first mindset:
integration-ready mechanical and electrical approaches
reliable options matched to your fidelity and budget goals
support for spares, repairs, and lifecycle planning
Panels and Panel Assemblies
Panels aren’t just a faceplate. They’re a system: structure, lighting, controls, electronics, and interfaces that have to integrate cleanly into the device.
Simtek supplies panels and assemblies that prioritize:
repeatable builds and configuration control
clean integration and serviceability
realistic interaction and trainer-ready fidelity
support that continues long after delivery
Built for the Reality of Simulation: High Use + High Expectations
Simulators demand more than “good parts.” They demand hardware that is:
used all day, every day
cycled repeatedly across scenarios
expected to behave consistently across fleets
repairable and supportable for years
backed by responsive communication
That’s the environment Simtek was built for.
Global Reach, U.S.-Based Responsiveness
Whether you’re a prime, integrator, or simulator operator in the U.S. or overseas, you still need the same thing: a supplier who delivers and supports.
Simtek provides:
U.S.-based build and support capability
direct communication from engineering to shipping
rapid response when schedule and uptime matter
a supply-chain mindset tuned for long program lifecycles
No SOW? No Problem.
Many programs don’t start with perfect documentation. That’s why Simtek is set up to move fast. If you don’t have a full statement of work, we can often start with:
photos
partial drawings
known interfaces and dimensions
or an existing unit to match form/fit/function
The Bottom Line
If you’re looking for a supplier of simulated instruments, simulator displays, and cockpit panels—in the United States or globally—Simtek is ready.
We build for training intensity. We support for program life. And we respond like your schedule depends on it—because it does.
