"We are thrilled to have been selected
by NLX for this important NAVAIR program," stated Mike Raines,
director of business development for Quantum3D. "NLX was
quite clear that they would accept nothing less than full compliance
to the NAVAIR specification, including meeting the short delivery
schedule. NLX selected Quantum3D after conducting a thorough and
competitive process and we are honored to work with them to provide
NAVAIR with this industry-leading solution."
"NLX's selection of Independence for TH-57C
further validates the system's growing prominence as the premier
IG solution for high-fidelity helicopter and fixed-wing flight
and combat simulation applications," said Ross Q. Smith,
Quantum3D co-founder and executive vice president of business
development and marketing. "In addition, the selection also
validates Quantum3D's transition to a solutions-oriented business
model, since the TH-57C FIT represents the archetypical program
that requires Quantum3D's full range of capabilities including
database and DBGS. We look forward to working closely with NLX
to meet the requirements and schedule for TH-57C as well as on
future training system programs."
