X-Gen® Overview
CATI has designed a High-Fidelity Unmanned Systems Simulation Virtual Training and Testing System
focused on the unique requirements of the commercial/civil community.
X-Gen® incorporates the latest technology for training payload and air
vehicle operators from basic through full-operational, location-specific training,
and rehearsal procedures. X-Gen® is based on CATI’s proven image generator
software for real-time scene rendering of the sensor views. X-Gen® also has an
open architecture design which provides a programmable 6-DOF aero-model
that supports any air vehicle control, menus, cued symbology, and 2D map display.
X-Gen® is scalable to run on a laptop, desktop,
or full Ground Control Station configuration. Users have the capability to design and train on custom
scenarios as well as add future updates.
The X-Gen® framework has been used
to model MQ-1C Gray Eagle, MQ-9 Reaper and MQ-8 Fire Scout unmanned systems.
CATI X-IG® image generator systems are the ideal choice for the visualization of simulation training systems.
For over twenty years, CATI has been providing unparalleled rendering performance through advanced
software algorithms and optimizations.
