COLOGNE, GERMANY –
April 24, 2007 –Quantum3D®, Inc., a leading
provider of Commercial-Off-the-Shelf (COTS), open-architecture,
realtime visual computing solutions, today announced at the ITEC
2007 Conference that FMV, the Swedish Material Defense Agency,
selected the Quantum3D ExpeditionDI® to evaluate the performance
of dismounted infantry simulators within the larger framework
of a Mechanised Infantry Squad. The Mechanised Infantry works
with tanks and armoured troop carriers, specifically the CV9040
Fighting Vehicle and the Leopard 2 MBT.
During the trials, FMV will
evaluate various concepts for Dismounted Infantry simulators,
and each simulator is required to be interoperable with existing
immersive ground vehicle simulators and run standard software.
FMV selected gaming-based software for these trials, and installed
additional software for voice communications between simulator
units. Working with the FMV-selected game-based software, ExpeditionDI
provides unique, un-tethered, man-wearable, fully immersive Dismounted
Infantry high-fidelity simulation capabilities.
“The FMV simulator trials
provide Quantum3D with yet another opportunity to demonstrate
the flexibility and interoperability of ExpeditionDI. We are pleased
to have been selected for these important trials and are proud
to support the important mission of the Swedish Material Defense
Agency,” said Ross Q. Smith, Quantum3D co-founder and president.
About ExpeditionDI
ExpeditionDI® is a wireless/untethered, immersive, self-contained,
man-wearable, open-architecture, COTS platform that enables researchers
and system integrators to quickly and economically develop and
deploy field-ready training and mission rehearsal capabilities
for individual and/or collective dismounted and mounted infantry
and first responder applications. Accordingly, ExpeditionDI is
optimized to run standard commercial, military and gaming based
software in a completely man-worn system. Individual ExpeditionDI
units may be linked through IEEE 802.11 wireless networking protocols
to form part of a large simulation with other ExpeditionDI units,
desktop based or vehicle cab-based simulators. In addition, ExpeditionDI
systems may also be used in deployed environments and is well
suited for ad-hoc field environments and is interoperable with
embedded vehicle training systems that support IEEE 802.11 networking.
ExpeditionDI employs the Quantum3D
Thermite® Tactical Visual Computer and features Quantum3D’s
patent pending wireless controller for the untethered training
weapons, which currently include the M-4, M-16, M-249 and select
models that are tailored for allied governments. ExpeditionDI
also features multiple Intersense® trackers and a Quantum3D
specially packaged version of the eMagin® Z800® HMD. The
ExpeditionDI system includes a BlackHawk® load-bearing vest,
dressed cable assemblies, batteries, chargers and other accessories
including a transit case for rapid deployment.
ExpeditionDI at ITEC 2007
ExpeditionDI, along with additional Quantum3D products and solutions
for embedded and institutional visual and sensor simulation and
training will be demonstrated at ITEC 2007 in the Quantum3D Stand
(No. 542). Please contact salesinfo@quantum3d.com
to arrange a demonstration.
