A live aircraft is the most expensive classroom in aviation. ARD replaces it with a true-scale simulator of your airport, where mistakes cost nothing.
Ground damage costs the aviation industry $5 billion per year. 61% is caused by GSE.

A scraped fuselage, a struck door, a misjudged distance: the cost is rarely just the repair. Most of it is preventable, and most of it starts with training. ARD moves those moments off the live ramp: ramp agents meet the hard situations, and make the costly mistakes, in simulation first.
Live ramp · every connection tracked
1:1 scale
We don't approximate. Every taxiway, stand, painted line and clearance is reproduced at true scale and true distance, so what a ramp agent learns in simulation is exactly what they do on the apron. Build any airport you operate, then train it in any condition.
Pushback and towbarless tractors, de-icing, belt and cargo loaders, passenger stairs, ground power, air starters, each with its own handling, procedures and phraseology. One platform for the whole ground operation.
The passenger boarding bridge is one of the most common sources of aircraft contact damage. Ramp agents practise approach, alignment and docking to the aircraft door, then auto-level and securing, on your real stands, until the movement is precise and routine.
Interphone discipline is where incidents start, or where they're prevented. Ramp agents run the full departure exchange against an AI flight deck that greets, challenges, corrects and debriefs, exactly like the real headset. Voice in, voice out, scored every time.
The same platform serves the handler who runs the operation and the airline that depends on it.
Operations & reporting
Detailed, per-trainee reports for the operator, and usage scores, competency trends and analytics for the handler. Plan recurrent training, prove compliance, and see your ground operation through data you've never had before.
Every Monday, each admin gets a personalised operations report, compiled automatically from the week's sessions — new hires, scores, GSE used and procedure updates. No spreadsheets to build, nothing to chase.
ARD started as the tool a pushback operator built to train himself. A way to rehearse the procedure off the aircraft, on his own time, until it was second nature. The ramp, without the risk.
What works for one operator works for a whole team. That tool became a full simulation platform: every ground vehicle, any airport, rebuilt at true scale. Made by someone who has done the job, for the people who do it every day.
A 30-minute demo. We'll run a live pushback on a true-scale apron and show the training data behind it.
