FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
CATI Training Systems, Participates in USAARL CAPTE/VCS Ribbon Cutting Ceremony.
Ozark, AL., September 17, 2019
Solutions participated in the formal ribbon cutting ceremony at the United States Army
Aviation Research Laboratory (USAARL), Fort Rucker, Alabama for the unveiling of the Cockpit
Academics Procedural Tool-Enhanced with Visual and Flight Control Systems (CAPTE/VCS).
In August of this year CATI delivered the X-IG® Image Generator System (IGS)
for SGB Enterprises’ CAPTE/VCS. The CAPTE/VCS is a highly effective and accurate training
tool for start-up, shutdown, on-ground and in-air emergency procedures.
The CAPTE/VCS provides state-of-the-art cockpit training and familiarization devices
that reduce pilot training time, as well as cost and performance risk.
All CAPTE/VCS are now paired with CATI X-IG® for a high-resolution out
the window visual scene, providing the warfighter a life-like training experience in
a virtual reality environment. USAARL will utilize the CAPTE/VCS for conducting experiments
and studies to deliver scientific solutions that save lives and increase the performance of
Army aviators, airborne soldiers, and ground warriors. For more information, please contact
Vincent Hill, VP of Business Development.
