AVCATT (Aviation Combined Arms Tactical Trainer) is a mobile aviation training simulator developed by L-3 Communications, Link Simulation & Training for the United States Army. Unlike many other simulators, AVCATT allows for multiple simultaneous users. AVCATT is capable of being configured to simulate the following helicopter platforms: AH-64A Apache, OH-58D Kiowa Warrior, UH-60 Blackhawk, CH-47D Chinook and AH-64D Longbow. AVCATT provides a flexible and portable training solution capable of rapid deployment and reconfiguration to meet strategic training needs. The AVCATT simulator is most commonly deployed in a two trailer configuration; each trailer can contain a cockpit simulator. One trailer houses an after-action review station.

Several companies supply the hardware needed for the simulator such as InterSense^{[update needed]} which supplies the motion tracking devices^[1] which are in turn used in combination with the head-mounted displays produced by Kaiser Electronics^[2].
