Quantum3D Independence IG Solutions Placed Into Service At Recently Opened Boeing F-15E Mission Training Centers

ORLANDO, FL, I/ITSEC 2007 – November 26, 2007 – Quantum3D®, Inc., a leading provider of Commercial, Off-the-Shelf (COTS), open-architecture, realtime visual computing solutions, announced today at I/ITSEC 2007 that Quantum3D Independence® IDX 2000TI ER Image Generator Solutions, a key component of the Boeing-developed high-fidelity, dual-cockpit F-15E simulators deployed at the F-15E MTCs have recently been placed into training service, concurrent with the opening of the first Boeing F-15E MTC at the U.S. Air Force 366th Fighter Wing at Mountain Home Air Force Base, Idaho. The Boeing operated F-15E MTCs will provide F-15E aircrews with high-fidelity, simulator-based training without the material and personnel costs associated with training on operational aircraft.

The Boeing F-15E simulators feature 360-degree horizontal field-of-view visual systems for both Pilot and Weapon Systems Officer with head-tracked area-of-interest displays for enhanced visual acuity, simulated night vision capabilities, robust synthetic environments as well as instructor/operator and brief/debrief stations. The simulators may be operated individually or linked to provide two- or four-ship training within the MTC. The simulators also can be linked locally with two medium-fidelity F-15E Manned Combat Stations to allow local four-ship training. After a few months of operation, the MTC will join the Air Force’s Distributed Mission Operations (DMO) training network, which will enable network-centric training for F-15E air crews with other DMO-capable systems at other facilities located hundreds or even thousands of miles away. For more information on the Boeing F-15E MTC program, please visit www.boeing.com/news/releases/2007/q4/071029a_nr[…].

The multi-million dollar contract with Quantum3D is for the delivery of multi-channel Independence IDX 2000TI ER IGs. The IDX 2000TI ER IGs are being deployed at Boeing F15-E MTCs located at USAF Mountain Home AFB, Seymour Johnson AFB and the Royal Air Force (RAF) Base in Lakenheath, England (UK). The F-15E MTC selection of Independence IGs follows Boeing’s prior selection of Quantum3D IGs for numerous flight and weapons system training programs including the T-38 ATD and F-15 Contracted Training Systems & Services (CTSS).

The Independence IDX 2000TI ER IG systems are used to drive both Out-the-Window (OTW) displays and simulated Night Vision Goggles (NVG) for the F-15E simulators. For the OTW displays, the F-15E simulators employ Boeings Visual Integrated Display System (VIDS) which provides 360-degree, high-resolution, high-contrast visuals with head-tracked area-of-interest for optimized visual acuity that provides substantially enhanced ability to train and maintain critical aircrew flying and weapons systems skills in single or multi-ship environments. The F-15E NVG displays are driven by Independence Sensor Simulation Channels equipped with equipped with Quantum3D Enhanced Sensor Simulation Technology (QUEST™) that provides high-fidelity, physics-based sensor simulation capabilities that features dynamic, realtime physics-based IR and NVG sensor simulation with MODTRAN4 atmospherics based on Quantum3Ds realtime implementation of JRM Technologies™ SigSim™. Other capabilities of the IDX 2000TI ER system that are important in its application to the F-15E MTC simulator architecture include its support for precision multi-channel synchronization and load management across multiple IG cabinets for high channel count applications, industry-leading image quality and extended visibility ranges for target recognition and support for realtime paging of wide-area, high-resolution, geospecific synthetic environments without scene transition artifacts—all while sustaining 60 Hz performance on highly complex scenes. Independences open architecture support for third-party high-resolution, geospecific databases developed using COTS tools and key standards including the Common Image Generator Interface (CIGI) were also important aspects of the systems application to the F-15E MTC program.

“The simulation and training industry continues to demand greater levels of fidelity in synthetic environments,” said Ross Q. Smith, Quantum3D Co-Founder and President. “Nowhere is that more critical than in MTC programs including the F-15E MTC, which is truly pushing the envelope in terms of fidelity and performance of flight and weapons system training requirements. We are extremely pleased to continue to be a key supplier of IG technology to Boeing and will continue to advance our technology to meet the USAF MTC program and our other important customers evolving needs.”
