Ozark, AL., October 1, 2020
Simulation Solutions delivered another three channel Image Generation System
(IGS) for a Cockpit Academics Procedural Tool-Enhanced Visual Capable System
(CAPTE-VCS+) training device on Fort Rucker. CATI was awarded the contract from
SGB Enterprises, Inc. to provide the IGS for the second CAPTE-VCS+ delivered.
This new CAPTE-VCS+ joins a complement of flight training devices at the
Goodhand Simulator Complex, a component of the United States
Army Aviation Center of Excellence (USAACE). The CAPTE-VCS+ provides state-of-the-art
cockpit training and familiarization that reduces pilot training time,
as well as cost and performance risk. All CAPTE-VCS+ devices are now
