Presagis supports development of Boeing next-generation helicopter simulator
ORLANDO, Fla., 4 Dec. 2008.Presagis, a provider of commercial off-the shelf (COTS) modeling, simulation, and embedded display graphics software, announced that Boeing has selected the Presagis Lyra image generator to support the development of the next-generation Apache helicopter simulator (AH-64D) at Boeing's Mesa, Ariz. facility. Boeing will use Lyra in its new Block III Apache Engineering Development Simulator (EDS), the virtual simulation of the Apache weapon system.
Powered by Concurrent's ImaGen visual server running RedHawk real-time Linux operating system, Lyra's multi-channel, out-the-window solution brings enhanced features to the Block III Apache simulator, including realistic rendering of special and environment effects, weather states and rotor effects, as well as entity and large-area terrain management features, says a company representative. Boeing will also deploy the Lyra Sensors image generator, providing the simulator the ability to generate infrared and night-vision-goggle simulations.
Developed from Presagis Vega Prime real-time 3D development environment, Lyra provides an out-of-the-box visualization application delivering 60Hz image generation. The solution operates on multiple hardware and operating system platforms.
