AgustaWestland Selects Presagis Software to Deliver Stimulating Environment for Helicopter Simulation
26 November 2007 09:50
Presagis, a leading provider of Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) modeling, simulation and embedded display graphics software for the aerospace and defense industry, today announced that AgustaWestland has selected Presagis STAGE Scenario to drive the interactive simulation capabilities of its new helicopter demonstrator. The demonstrator, which will be showcased at the Interservice/Industry Training, Simulation and Education Conference (I/ITSEC) on November 26-29, 2007 at booth 915 in Hall C, combines simulations of AgustaWestland's two new helicopter designs.
"STAGE Scenario is an agile, interoperable solution that enables us to quickly set up interactive scenarios for our training simulations," said Nigel Osborne, Technology Development Manager, AgustaWestland. "By creating rich, stimulating environments we are able to demonstrate the latest generation of aircrew interfaces and the potential to repurpose existing helicopter simulations to support procedural and tactical training in a reconfigurable and transportable package."
The use of STAGE Scenario in the demonstrator extends a 12-year relationship between Presagis (formerly Engenuity) and AgustaWestland to deliver interactive environments for human/machine Interface evaluation and training. The demonstrator combines two simulators used to support the development of Future Lynx and AW101 helicopters. AgustaWestland is in the process of designing the next generation of both air vehicles, which are used by the British Army and Royal Navy. STAGE Scenario delivers air, ground, and sea vehicle simulations for the pilots to interact with during training, enabling AgustaWestland to develop interfaces, procedures and assess the vehicle's various systems. These key attributes will be included in the demonstrator showcased at I/ITSEC.
"Interoperable, out-of-the-box solutions enable organizations to set up simulations quickly and with great flexibility," said Patrice Commune, President, Presagis. "Presagis is looking forward to seeing the AgustaWestland Mission Support demonstrator in action at I/ITSEC and working with AgustaWestland to deliver new, customizable features for its next-generation aircraft simulations."
