Quantum3D Independence Image Generation Solutions Selected by Indra Systems for U.S. Marine Corps
Quantum3D COTS IDX 4000 ER IG Solution Provides High-Fidelity, Realtime
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) November 25, 2007 --
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 that Indra Systems, Inc., has
selected Quantum3D Independence® IDX 4000 ER Image Generator (IG) Solutions
as a critical component of Indra's upgrade of the United States Marine Corps
AV?8B Radar Night Attack Weapons System Trainers (R/NAWSTs) at MCAS Cherry
Point and MCAS Yuma. The upgraded training devices will support training for
all AV-8B missions, incorporating high-fidelity simulation of the entire
sensor suite deployed on the all-weather AV-8B aircraft, and will operate in
both stand-alone and networked environments
The IDX 4000 ER IG Solutions provide fully correlated scenes for the eight
out-the-window channels of the AV-8B R/NAWST M2DART display, as well as the
AV-8B's Navigation FLIR, LITENING Advanced Targeting Pod and Angle Rate
Bombing System. The high-fidelity, physics-based simulation of the AV-8B
sensor suite is provided via the IDX 4000 ER IG system's Quantum3D Enhanced
Sensor Simulation Technology (QUESTT). QUEST employs advanced pixel and
vertex shader technologies and Quantum3D's realtime implementation of JRM
TechnologiesT SigSimT to provide MODTRAN-4 compliant, band-accurate,
at-aperture scene generation with advanced, low-latency sensor-post
processing for sensor effects and symbology. The IDX 4000 ER IG will also
render enhanced nighttime scenes to stimulate operational night-vision
goggles, which will provide improved training fidelity compared to simulated
NVG approaches that employ simulated NVGs and head trackers.
"Indra has a long history of providing quality AV-8B training systems to the
USMC," said Brent W. York, Indra's Director of Simulation. "We're pleased
that Quantum3D has partnered with Indra to continue that legacy, and I'm
confident in Quantum3D's technical solution and ability to deliver exactly
what the Marines need."
As part of its deliverables, Quantum3D will enhance and publish Navy
Portable Source Initiative (NPSI) databases-a key element of the AV-8B
program. Quantum3D Vice-President of Technical Marketing, Stephen Gersuk,
commented, "Historically, the armed forces have purchased proprietary
synthetic environment databases with each simulator, locking themselves into
the same IG provider for follow-on systems or enhancements. Now, NPSI
