SERA™ was designed to be easy to integrate into existing flight simulation training devices (FSTDs) and accommodate both in-the-cloud and local hardware configurations. To find out which solution is best for your facility and learn more about pricing, contact us at info@seraatc.com.
SERA-in-the-Cloud uses your internet connection for core functionality, as well as to perform near real-time software updates and maintenance. Cloud pricing is based on a sliding scale and can be as low as $10 per hour.

Key
1 SERA sends information about the aircraft it generates (position, flaps, waypoints, etc.) either to the host system or image generator.
2 The host system sends ownship information (position, radio settings, etc.) to the SERA system.
3 SERA delivers all the radio traffic on the tuned frequency (from AI entities including controllers and other aircraft) to the Audio I/O interface.
4 Audio from the trainee's mic runs through speech recognition software, and that data is sent to SERA for processing.
If your internet connection cannot support SERA’s bandwidth requirements, there is also an option to lease a server that requires periodic internet connectivity to provide software updates and maintenance. The hardware option’s pricing structure is nearly identical to the cloud option, but with an additional hardware fee.

Works with your I/G
SERA can work with the following image generator/visual systems, as well as any DIS or CIGI compliant system:
- Lockheed Martin Prepar3d
- Rockwell Collins EP-series
- FlightSafety VITAL X
- RSI Visual Systems
- FlightGear open-source systems
Custom integration with other systems is also available. Contact us to talk about your configuration.
Optional Realtime Interface
Adding the SERA Realtime Interface to your configuration allows you to move intensive waypoint interpolation and other calculations from the cloud and into your facility. This conserves your Internet bandwidth, and ensures that realtime data is delivered to your host or image generation system at 60Hz to provide the smoothest visuals for the AI entities in your simulation.
