MULTIGEN-PARADIGM DELIVERS NIGHT VISION GOGGLE SOFTWARE FOR LOCKHEED MARTIN F-16 MISSION TRAINING CENTER

Interservice/Industry Training, Simulation & Education Conference (I/ITSEC) - Orlando, FL - December 6, 2004 - MultiGen-Paradigm®, Inc. has delivered the prototype night vision goggle (NVG) simulation software for the F-16 Mission Training Center (MTC) to Lockheed Martin in Akron, Ohio. MultiGen-Paradigm, a leading provider of realtime 3D visual simulation software solutions, is now in the production phase of the NVG simulation software that is to be included in F-16 MTCs. Lockheed Martin's F-16 MTC pilot training systems provide realistic immersive training to the U.S. Air Force in high-resolution virtual training environments.

MultiGen-Paradigm developed the NVG simulation software databases by using its Creator Terrain Studio™ technology to correlate with the F-16 MTC visual databases and FlightIG™ NVG runtime display software. This software is also configured to coordinate with the Air Force Research Lab's SensorHost and video processor for realtime simulation producing head-tracked video to the helmet mounted display.

Correlation to the existing F-16 MTC geospecific out-the-window (OTW) scene was assured by using the MultiGen-Paradigm integrated runtime and database technologies. The NVG database includes realistic landmarks and terrain to provide sensor cues to pilots adding to the F-16 MTC's training capabilities.

"Our COTS tools enabled us to go back and enhance existing databases reducing program risk and cost," said Sandeep Divekar, CEO at MultiGen-Paradigm. "We are delivering open databases, built on industry standards that enable our customers to move forward on their own to modify and enhance their databases."
