From 911Encyclopedia:

The National Center for Simulation (NCS) was formed in early 1994, and is composed of governmental agencies, defense contractors and educational institutions. The NCS, based in Orlando, Florida, is home to 140+ simulation and training companies, the Institute for Simulation and Training at the University of Central Florida, and two major military simulation and training commands and the Air Force Agency for Modeling and Simulation (AFAMS).

According to their website, the Faa is using a display program, developed by Apple Designs Inc., which shares security information on passengers. One of their systems is installed at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport. The NCS is working together with ICT, which developed simulation programs incl. shooters for the US Military and FEMA. Another partner of the NCS is the Environmental Tectonics Corporation, which created the Advanced Disaster Management Simulator for terrorist attacks.
