About CATI Training Systems
CATI is headquartered in Ozark, AL, and was initially incorporated in 1992 as Carmel
Applied Technologies, Inc. CATI entered the competitive visual system providers
market in 1997 with an OpenGL™ Silicon Graphics (SGI) based image generator,
X–IG®. CATI Training Systems continues to provide engineering services and
products for government, commercial, and civilian organizations around the
world.
Today, CATI′s image generator solutions and UAS Training devices are all PC–
based. CATI′s image generators are specifically designed around industrystandard
OpenGL™, a high-performance graphics Application Programming
Interface (API), and OpenFlight™, the 3D standard format for the visual simulation
industry.
The open design of X–IG® and X–Gen®, run on 100% Commercial-Off the
Shelf (COTS) PC–based hardware and software. This allows us to offer high-performance,
