Rockwell Collins announced the launch of its EP-8100 Image Generator for commercial and military simulation and training early this month.

The EP-8100 can use customers' existing databases as it also has conversion software that allows it to run existing Rockwell Collins synthetic environments and several industry standard synthetic environments. These environments may also be enhanced.

Other capabilities of the EP-8100 include a WholeEarth environment for large-area training with small inset development, per-primitive blur for more realistic haze, dust and smoke, and high-fidelity snow and rain effects. The image generator also supports up to eight regional weather patterns simultaneously and features an adaptive architecture and high-fidelity sensor simulation.

In addition, the EP-8100 features a large high-resolution catalogue of airport models, with regular updates available.

LeAnn Ridgeway, vice president and general manager, simulation and training, Rockwell Collins, said: 'Our new high fidelity EP-8100 image generator addresses the key issues facing our customers today, namely how to bring new levels of realism and performance to their training environments while preserving the investments they’ve already made.

'It provides high performance image generation in a compact design with increased reliability.'
