ORLANDO, FL-- December
4, 2006. Quantum3D®,
Inc., a leading provider of COTS, open architecture, realtime
3D visual computing solutions, announced today at the Interservice,
International Training, Simulation and Education Conference (I/ITSEC
2006), that the Boeing Company (NYSE: BA) has selected the Quantum3D
Independence® IDX
3000 Image Generation (IG) solution for the C-17 Flight Hardware
Simulator (FHS). The Boeing FHS is used to validate C-17 flight
procedures and processes, such as taxi, takeoff, approach, and
landing, as well as aerial refueling, formation flying and air-to-air
target tracking tasks. The FHS also provides evidence that basic
Flight Control System (FCS) functions are operating properly in
the areas of control laws, annunciations, redundancy management,
and flight handling qualities whenever there are hardware or software
changes to the FCS and Avionics due to C-17 program changes and
block upgrades. The FHS is also used to study flight anomalies
and investigate problems.
In support of the C-17 FHS, Quantum3D will deliver
a multi-channel Independence IDX 3000 including a customer-specific
simulation host interface. The C-17 FHS selection of Independence
follows Boeing’s prior selection of Quantum3D IGs for numerous
flight and weapons system training programs including F-15E MTC,
F-15K, T-38 ATD, F-15 CTSS, F-15C DMT, F-15 RSAF, AH-64D EDS,
V-22 EDS and Boeing’s Airlift Tanker & Integration Center.
“Quantum3D is pleased to partner once
again with Boeing to provide our latest technology IG solution
to the C-17 FHS program,” 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.”
