Australia’s Wedgetail E-7A Flight Simulator has received a major update to its
visual system, which has been granted the highest level of accreditation in
Australia.
The new
visual system delivers significantly better colour and brightness uniformity,
sharper imagery, superior edge blending, and more realistic weather effects.
Other benefits include greatly improved reliability, growth potential and lower
lifecycle cost.
Thales
worked closely with Boeing Defence Australia on the project, which involved
replacing the simulator's obsolete calligraphic CRT projectors with Christie
Matrix StIM LED DLP projectors and introducing the latest ThalesViewNG image
generator.
The
accreditation of the new visual system to FSD-1 Level 5 standard means the
system is set to support Royal Australian Air Force 2 Squadron for many years
to come.
Located at
RAAF Base Williamtown, New South Wales, the Wedgetail E-7A Operational Flight
Trainer is a key component of the RAAF’s Wedgetail AEW&C pilot training
program. It is the sole Wedgetail pilot training device used by the RAAF, and
delivers realistic and high-quality simulated flight crew operations.
The
simulator was originally manufactured by Thales and has been in use by the RAAF
since 2006.
