Independence^® 3000 ER
4th Generation, Open-Architecture, Scalable COTS IG Solutions for Visual and Sensor Simulation Applications

Note: Independence 3000 ER contains technology that is subject to U.S. Export Control and which requires authorization by the U.S. Government for export to foreign end users.

The newest model in the Independence® family of IG Solutions, the IDX 3000 ER is designed to meet the demands of today’s most advanced synthetic environment sensor and visual simulation, training, and mission rehearsal applications. The IDX 3000 ER combines the latest in extended-life-cycle advanced PC technologies with value-added software and hardware in a unique System Level Parallel Rendering Architecture (SLPRA) that sets new standards for scalable performance and visual fidelity in open architecture, advanced IG solutions by delivering the power of up to 8-way “SLI” without the rendering artifacts or system level restrictions of merchant SLI solutions. With its Mantis™ Realtime Scene Management Software and viXsen™ Physics-based Sensor Simulation Plug-In, Quantum3D Enhanced Sensor Simulation Technology (QUEST™), and IG Management (IGM™) System Administration Software Suite, the IDX 3000 ER has the most comprehensive set of essential IG features available in the industry today - including complete compatibility with important visual simulation standards, optional “four-nines” (99.99%) of effective availability, unmatched technology insertion capabilities, a low total-cost-of-ownership, as well as industry-leading image quality, visual acuity, and performance.

Optimized for 60+ Hz Applications
Designed to sustain 30, 60 or 100+ Hz performance on 16-bits-per-color-component (bpcc) monochrome sensor simulation applications and 60 Hz (120 Hz for stereo applications) on Out-The-Window (OTW) applications - all on high resolution, geospecific, material classified sensor simulation databases with optional visual textures, the IDX 3000 ER is ideally suited for a wide range of realtime, mission critical military and civilian sensor-related simulation, training, and mission rehearsal applications:

• Fixed Wing and Rotorcraft Aviation Simulation and Training
• Weapons Systems and Gunnery Training
• Hardware-in-the-Loop Sensor Simulation
• Advanced Automotive R&D Simulation and Driver’s Training
• Military Ground Vehicle Training
• Fixed Base and Forward Air Traffic Control
• Ship’s Bridge Simulation and Training
• Mono & Stereo Scientific Visualization and VR
