San Jose, Calif. - October 7, 2003 - MultiGen-Paradigm, Inc., a leading provider of realtime 3D visual simulation software solutions, announced the selection Vega Prime by General Dynamics Amphibious Systems as the application development environment for the Expeditionary Fighting Vehicle (EFV), formerly known as the Advanced Amphibious Assault Vehicle (AAAV), Embedded Training System (ETS). Vega Prime is an extendible, cross-platform, commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) C++ development environment. It includes MultiGen-Paradigm's advanced low-level scene graph VSG (Vega Scene Graph), as well as a high level abstraction API, delivering a wide range of scalable and customizable features designed for visual simulation, sensor simulation, marine simulation, simulation based training, and urban simulation. The EFV ETS is a simulation-based training system to make the vehicle capable of use in deployable training in equipment operation, precision gunnery and navigation, and full-mission rehearsal The ETS will be a Line Replaceable Unit (LRU) of the vehicle and will host both the host simulation and image generation software. The EFV organic displays will be used for image generation presentation. "General Dynamics' choice of Vega Prime for EFV ETS re-affirms our application development environment's status as the most flexible and comprehensive COTS solution," said Sandeep Divekar, MultiGen-Paradigm's president. "The choice of Vega Prime for this program confirms that the modular approach to providing application specific functionality furnishes developers with the productivity and scalability needed to deliver today's cutting edge applications for training and simulation."
