Rucker, Ala., 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
supporting USAARL’s commitment to the aviator, the airborne Soldier, and the ground
Warrior, to find medical solutions that reduce health hazards, prevent and mitigate

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.
