COLOGNE, GERMANY, ITEC
2007–April 24, 2007– Quantum3D®, Inc.,
a leading provider of COTS, open-architecture, realtime visual
computing solutions, today announced that Rockwell Collins has
purchased three (3) additional Independence IDX 2500 IG Solutions
for use in the U.S. Navy TH-57C Flight Instrument Trainer (FIT)
program. Previously selected by Rockwell Collins for the program
in 2004, the IDX 2500 was certified as Ready-for-Training (RFT)
by the U.S. Navy as part of the Rockwell Collins Simulation and
Training Solutions TH-57C FIT simulators delivered in April, 2005.
Located at Whiting Field
near Pensacola, Florida, the TH-57C FIT systems are used by new
U.S. Navy helicopter pilots for primary flight and instrument
training. The TH-57C FIT enables U.S. Navy pilots to train in
highly realistic, simulated marine and land-based flight scenarios
including take-off and landing, navigation, operations, search
and rescue, and personnel movement at all times of day and in
all types of weather.
The IDX 2500 IG Solution provides
high-fidelity “out-the-window” (OTW) and stimulated
Night Vision Goggle (NVG) visuals using Quantum3D GeoScapeSE®
and U.S. Navy Portable Source Initiative (NPSI) geospecific databases
for the TH-57C FIT. For the TH-57C FIT program, the IDX 2500 IG
Solutions are equipped with host-controllable, realistic weather,
marine and rotorwash effects that enable high-fidelity training
over a broad range of scenarios. The IDX 2500 marine-effects package
provides 3D sea-state and ship wakes to provide realistic motion
cues and indications for critical maritime training. The IDX 2500
rotorwash effects provide realistic simulation of obscuration
that occurs in landing scenarios or operations over dusty terrain
or water. Additionally, the TH-57C system features Quantum3D's
enhanced lighting systems including IFLOLS, SGSI, HARS, PAPI and
VASI, combined with Quantum3D’s unique Continuous Model
Scaling (CMS™) and support for Boston Dynamics™ DI-Guy®
to provide precision shipboard and land-based landing training
procedures with Landing Signal Officer (LSO) support. These features,
coupled with Quantum3D’s stimulated NVG capability which
enables Navy pilots to use their actual NVG goggles during training,
coupled with support for Quantum3D GeoScapeSE and NPSI databases,
provide the Navy with high-fidelity simulated visuals and critical
training cues for TH-57C pilots.
"The TH-57C FIT is
an important primary helicopter pilot training program for Chief
of Naval Air Training (CNATRA) that requires uncompromising fidelity
and value," said Ross Q. Smith, Quantum3D co-founder and
president. "Our partnership with Rockwell Collins and the
U.S. Navy to provide enduring, high-fidelity, low total-cost-of-ownership
TH-57C training, as well as precision geospecific synthetic environments
and support for open standards like NPSI and CIGI, contributes
to a total solution for this program and future flight-training
programs. Quantum3D is pleased to be an ongoing part of the TH-57C
FIT team."
