ORLANDO, FL -- 12/04/06 -- Quantum3D®, Inc., a leading provider of COTS, open architecture, realtime 3D visual computing solutions, announced today at the Interservice, International Training, Simulation and Education Conference (I/ITSEC 2006), that the Boeing Company (NYSE: BA) has selected the Quantum3D Independence® IDX 3000 Image Generation (IG) solution for the C-17 Flight hardware Simulator (FHS). The Boeing FHS is used to validate C-17 flight procedures and processes, such as taxi, takeoff, approach, and landing, as well as aerial refueling, formation flying and air-to-air target tracking tasks. The FHS also provides evidence that basic Flight Control System (FCS) functions are operating properly in the areas of control laws, annunciations, redundancy management, and flight handling qualities whenever there are hardware or software changes to the FCS and Avionics due to C-17 program changes and block upgrades. The FHS is also used to study flight anomalies and investigate problems.
In support of the C-17 FHS, Quantum3D will deliver a multi-channel Independence IDX 3000 including a customer-specific simulation host interface. The C-17 FHS selection of Independence follows Boeing's prior selection of Quantum3D IGs for numerous flight and weapons system training programs including F-15E MTC, F-15K, T-38 ATD, F-15 CTSS, F-15C DMT, F-15 RSAF, AH-64D EDS, V-22 EDS and Boeing's Airlift Tanker & Integration Center.
"Quantum3D is pleased to partner once again with Boeing to provide our latest technology IG solution to the C-17 FHS program," said Ross Q. Smith, Quantum3D president. "We are very proud of Boeing's continued reliance on our IG offerings and look forward to an ongoing mutually successful relationship."
