SAN JOSE,
CALIF. - March 10, 2004 - 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 today that the Boeing Company (NYSE:
BA) has selected Quantum3D Independence™ as the image generator
(IG) solution for the F-15K Training System, which consists of
a F-15K Weapon Systems Trainer (WST) and a Cockpit Procedures
Trainer (CPT). The Training System is part of a contract recently
awarded to Boeing by the Republic of Korea (ROK), in which the
ROK will purchase 40 F-15K aircraft and associated equipment.
For each F-15K training system, Quantum3D will
deliver two eleven-channel Independence IGs and spares to Boeing,
which will be deployed to the ROK beginning in January 2005. The
F-15K selection of Independence follows Boeing's prior selection
of Quantum3D IG Solutions for numerous flight and weapons system
training programs including F-15E MTC, T-38 ATD, F-15 CTSS and
F-15C DMT systems. For more information on the F-15K program,

Independence™
4th Generation Advanced, Open-Architecture Scalable IG Solution
|
On the F-15K Training System program,
Independence IG systems will be used to drive Out-the-Window (OTW)
displays for both the Pilot and Weapon Systems Officer (WSO) on
the WST 360 degree full-field-of-view visual system and the single
channel OTW display for the CPT. For the OTW displays, Boeing
is employing its next generation Visual Integrated Display System
(VIDS), a high-brightness, high-contrast, OTW visual display system
that is designed to enhance the user's ability to train and maintain
critical aircrew flying and weapons systems skills in single or
multi-ship environments. Boeing selected Independence based on
the system's demonstrated ability to meet the system's mission-critical
image quality, performance and target recognition requirements
in a multi-channel environment, at a significantly lower acquisition
and total cost as compared to proprietary image generation solutions.
Boeing was also able to leverage its investment in Mantis™,
Quantum3D's open architecture image generation software, which
Boeing has used on other Distributed Mission Training (DMT) programs.
"Each new Independence win is yet another
indication of the industry's uncompromising demand for the highest
levels of fidelity and performance in fixed-wing flight and combat
simulation applications," said Ross Q. Smith, Quantum3D president.
"We are very proud of Boeing's continued reliance on our
IG offerings and look forward to an ongoing mutually successful
relationship."
