Rockwell Collins [COL] this week introduced a next-generation simulation architecture leveraging advanced technologies and a modular design to maximize life cycle value and enhance training effectiveness across military and civil training platforms.
Deigned from the user and maintainer’s point of view, the CORE simulation architecture features common open reusable elements including scalable software adaptable for multiple training devices, integrated tool sets and Rockwell Collins’ industry leading display and image generation technology, the company said in a statement.
“This next generation architecture is a result of strategic acquisitions and organic investment we’ve made in simulation and training and represents a natural evolution of Rockwell Collins’ capabilities,” Ken Schreder, vice president and general manager, Simulation and Training Solutions for Rockwell Collins, said. “For decades, we’ve delivered world-class avionics, industry-leading visual systems for simulation, comprehensive training solutions and worldwide product support. We’re bringing all of this together, providing unprecedented flexibility and lower total cost of ownership.”
A highlight of the CORE simulation architecture is a highly configurable tool suite that provides the freedom to easily customize training for multiple situations. Other features include: Hardware and software design easily accommodates upgrades and new technology insertions through open systems architecture; Integrated visual and display technology offers industry-leading realism; Scalable, modular design across a broad range of training devices allows proactive obsolescence management and integration of the latest in commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) technology.
