X-IG® Image Generation System (IGS) for the Black Hawk Aircrew
Trainer (“the BAT”). BAT is an immersive home-station UH60M Flight Training Device
(FTD), comprised of a state-of-the-art collimated visual system (main display:
200 degree horizontal x 45 degree vert., with seven 2-megapixel projectors),
a complete UH-60M cockpit, an Instructor Operator Station (IOS), and a vertically
expandable container. The first prototype underwent DOS accreditation in October 2015,
as a Level 7 equivalent FTD. Subsequent BAT devices are being deployed to
Ft Bliss, Ft Hood, Ft Carson, Ft Stewart, Camp Humphries, Iowa Army National Guard
(ANG), Oklahoma ANG, Pennsylvania ANG, Michigan ANG, and Louisiana ANG.
BAT features a modular design to maximize flexibility for future growth.
