 ORLANDO,
FL - December 2, 2002 - Quantum3D®,
Inc., a leading provider of open architecture realtime 3D visual
computing solutions for the Visual Simulation and Training (VST)
and Embedded Visual Computing (EVC) markets, announced that Adacel,
will employ Quantum3D's AAlchemy™ advanced, open architecture
image generators (IG) and OpenGVS™ realtime scene management
software in two new major synthetic environment realtime air traffic
control (ATC) training programs recently awarded to the company.
The programs include the US Army's Fort Rucker ATC Training Facility
in Alabama and Italy's ENAV (Ente Nazionale de Assistenza Al Volo).
These new program wins are the latest to come
out of a long-standing business relationship between Quantum3D
and Adacel. Earlier this year, Quantum3D announced that Adacel
selected AAlchemy and OpenGVS for the largest ATC training and
simulation program ever awarded - the United States Air Force
(USAF) Tower Simulation System (TSS) program. Collectively the
programs will provide Quantum3D with several million dollars in
revenue over the next few years.
"The market is clearly telling us that
Adacel's air traffic control and air traffic management training
software and program experience together with Quantum3D's IG systems
and software and commitment to life cycle management is a winning
combination," said Lionel Léveillé, President
and CEO of Adacel. "Over the past year, we have won the majority
of major contracts in both the defense and civil ATC simulation
markets. These contracts are already opening the doors to others
and we look forward to working with Quantum3D to secure more of
these major global design wins."
In support of these latest ATC programs, which
include realtime synthetic environment ATC simulators for the
US Army's training facility at Ft. Rucker and four independent
tower simulators for the ENAV program, Quantum3D will provide
Adacel with multiple AAlchemy IGs, which provide high-fidelity,
high-resolution output with rotated grid full scene anti-aliasing
and precision multi-channel synchronization-both of which are
essential for advanced ATC applications.
"These latest wins further illustrate Adacel's
clear market share and technology leadership in ATC simulation
and training, and we're very pleased that Quantum3D visual systems
form such a strategic part of their solutions," said Ross
Q. Smith, Quantum3D co-founder and executive vice president of
marketing and business development. "Our relationship with
Adacel is a perfect example of how Quantum3D's business model
of selling enabling realtime visual computing products and solutions
to leading training system providers with deep subject matter
expertise provides our ultimate customers with the best training
value. We look forward to many more years of our highly successful
partnership with Adacel aimed at meeting the needs of the military
and civilian ATC training market."
