FCS Control Systems (now called Moog FCS, after the purchase of FCS by Moog Inc.) develops flight simulation and testing systems for aircraft and autos, using advanced control systems. FCS used to be called Fokker Control Systems B.V, which originally was a daugther company of Fokker, the former Dutch aircraft manufacturer.

FCS develops a wide line of applications, which included:
* High performance motion platforms (hexapod or stewart platform) for flight simulators
* High performance control loading (Haptic technology) systems for flight simulators
* G-seat (Ejection seat with Haptic technology) systems for jetfighter and helicopter flight simulators
* Test systems for aircraft testing, contributing to Air safety.
* Test systems for automotive testing used for Automotive design and contributing to Automobile safety. (4-poster, MAST table)
* Stand alone test controllers for article testing. (PID controller, function generator)
* Digital servo controllers
* Robotics (Haptic technology) with medical applications

Industrial Controls

For the material test markets, Moog FCS supplies motion controls for automotive, structural and fatigue testing. The company's hydraulic and electromechanical motion simulation bases are used for the flight simulation and training markets.
