Collins Aerospace recently unveiled Arcus, an innovative image generator that merges their cutting-edge rendering and processing tools with the popular world of gaming.
This breakthrough technology offers an immersive and customizable training experience for aircrew members. Featuring a versatile and adaptable design, the Arcus image generator boasts realistic and intricate synthetic training environments for a variety of platforms.
This includes fast jets, air transport, mission simulations, rotary wing aircraft, and even commercial planes. Developed in collaboration with Epic Games' Unreal Engine technology, Collins' Arcus image generator sets a new standard in the field of aircrew training.
Sharon Tabori, senior director and general manager of Simulation and Training Solutions at Collins Aerospace, emphasizes the necessity of high-quality visual realism in effective simulation training. She also notes the importance of adaptability to various training needs and devices.
With our new hybrid image generator, we have enhanced graphic capabilities that allow for an efficient and immersive flight simulation experience.
Arcus is equipped with common PC hardware and software applications, making it compatible with different simulated flight devices such as full-flight simulators, flight training devices, and VR and MR systems. This not only decreases costs but also allows for more targeted training using the same technology across all simulation platforms.
"Harnessing state-of-the-art visuals and Epic Games' cutting-edge gaming technology, the image generator empowers customers to customize their training settings and incorporate innovative elements that evolve with their missions and simulation training requirements."
