FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
CATI Training Systems, Delivers Aviation Research Simulator to AFRL
Ozark, AL., November 8, 2019
innovative Image Generator and Simulation Solutions, designed and delivered an
Aviation Research Simulator to the United States Air Force Research Laboratory
(AFRL) located at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, OH. The research simulator
consists of a single seat cockpit with helicopter flight controls (collective, cyclic,
pedals), monitor for displaying cockpit instruments, out the window high-resolution
4K display, and simulator/operation control interface. The cockpit
was integrated to a Tactile Situation Awareness System (TSAS) and CATI’s high
performance X-IG® v4.1 image generator, X-Gen® generic helicopter flight model,
and SLAB-3D spatial audio system. AFRL will use the new aviation research
simulator to conduct studies in the areas of Human Factors and Ergonomics
(HF/E) as related to spatial disorientation, balance, localization, and navigation
cues, degraded visual environments, etc. For more information, please contact
Vincent Hill, Vice President of Business Development.

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,
versatile capabilities for various types of training, testing, and
experimentation. X-IG® and its suite of associated tools and programs offer
superior image fidelity, realism, and ease of integration with most simulation
systems.
Every system CATI delivers provides unmatched ease of use, open architecture,
COTS tools, and flexible interface options as well as low acquisition, overhead,
and life cycle support costs.
