GE Intelligent Platforms Inks Pact with Link Simulation and Training
Mar 16, 2010 (Close-Up Media via COMTEX) --
GE Intelligent Platforms announced that it has received an order for automatic video trackers valued at approximately $1.7 million from Link Simulation and Training of Arlington, Texas.
According to a release, the order is for a number of GE ADEPT74 real-time video tracker processing boards that will be employed as an element of the U.S. Army's AVCATT (Aviation Combined Arms Tactical Trainer) AH-64D simulation and training system upgrade program.
The company said the GE Intelligent Platforms ADEPT74 is an automatic video tracker and image processor.
"This is a significant application of our standard hardware," said Peter Cavill, General Manager, Military/Aerospace Systems at GE Intelligent Platforms. "The ADEPT74 video tracker provides full emulation of the advanced MTADS targeting system on the latest versions of the Apache Longbow helicopter and allows the delivery of more realistic aircrew training, therefore providing superior efficiency and improved safety for our troops."
AVCATT is a mobile and reconfigurable virtual simulation system designed to support unit collective and combined arms training. Each AVCATT suite provides six manned modules, reconfigurable to any combination of attack, reconnaissance, lift and/or cargo helicopters. Platforms that can be simulated include AH-64A, AH-64D, OH-58D, UH-60A/L and CH-47D. AVCATT is employed to train both active and reserve component aircrews deploying in support of overseas contingency operations.
