Proving that technology that leads to enhanced capability will win every time, 3D Perception in Asker, Norway recently announced it has delivered two of its Northstar immersive display systems for the US Air Force Test Pilot Training School at Edwards ir Force Base (USAF TPS) in California’s Mojave desert.
Delivered in late March 2015, the two Draco Northsatr mini-domes feature a 1.05 metre radius spherical screen, a dedicated heads-up display and a seamless 160° vertical x 60° horizontal field of view. The small footprint of the Draco range of mini-domes enables sophisticated simulations to be set up and operated in small office spaces.
Dr. Christopher Cotting, Instructor of Flying Qualities at USAF TPS, said “Proper immersion in a simulation environment is key, especially for Handling Qualities education and testing. We also use these simulators to provide synthetic vision for a ground station to fly our remotely piloted aircraft.”
