ADACEL LEVERAGES MULTIGEN-PARADIGM'S VEGA PRIME TO DELIVER THE INDUSTRY'S LARGEST CONTROL TOWER SIMULATION CONTRACT

Interservice/Industry Training, Simulation & Education Conference (I/ITSEC) - Orlando, FL - December 6, 2004 - MultiGen-Paradigm®, Inc., a leading provider of realtime 3D visual simulation software solutions, was chosen by Adacel Tower Simulation System (TSS) to provide Vega Prime™ as the realtime scene management software to create the high fidelity, photorealistic training environments for their Air Traffic Control training systems at U.S. Air Force bases all over the world.

Vega Prime is an extendible, cross-platform, commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) C++ development environment that 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, simulation based training, and urban simulation.

Optimized for high-performance realtime 3D visual simulation applications, Vega Prime enables Adacel's ATC applications to achieve optimal performance, high fidelity and visual quality, providing the realism required by the USAF Air Traffic controllers to achieve and maintain proficiency in the skills necessary to effectively control the military airspace.

"Adacel selected Vega Prime after an extensive industry analysis of available scene management tools. Adoption of Vega Prime enables Adacel to take full advantage of 'state of the art' graphics technology," says Adacel Director of Engineering Steve Brownbill.

MultiGen-Paradigm's COTS software solutions are developed with a flexible and open framework to enable customers and partners to create or easily integrate their own functionality or modules, providing customers with a extensible and scalable development environment.
