Ozark, AL., March 1, 2021
Simulation Solutions, completed a major visual system upgrade of the NUH-60FS
Black Hawk Flight Simulator for the United States Army Aeromedical Research Laboratory
(USAARL) at Fort Rucker, AL. The scope of work for this project included facility
renovation, removal of the existing visual system, installation of a new visual
display system (including new collimated display, support structure and projectors),
engineering, and integration. CATI partnered with RSi Visual Systems, Inc. (RSi)
to deliver a full-motion CrossView 10R collimated optical display system with chin windows.
The new simulator Image Generator System (IGS) features state of the art PC hardware
and 12 channels of CATI X-IG® v4.1.

About USAARL.
The United States Army Aeromedical Research Laboratory (USAARL) is located at Fort Rucker, AL,
the home of Army aviation. It is one of six laboratories within the U.S. Army Medical
Research and Materiel Command. USAARL was established in 1962 to provide direct aviation
medical research support to all Army Aviation and airborne activities. USAARL owns, maintains,
and operates a Black Hawk flight simulator (NUH-60FS) for conducting human factor research
focused on the performance and survival of rotary wing Warfighters.
The NUH-60FS Aeromedical Research Blackhawk Flight Simulator is the world’s only environmentally
controlled, full-motion, full-visual aeromedical research flight simulator.
The NUH-60FS plays a vital role in supporting USAARL’s commitment to the health and
safety of the aviators, the airborne Soldiers, and the ground Warriors by finding medical
solutions that reduce health hazards, prevent and mitigate injury, enhance performance, and
save lives.

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.
