THE INNOVATION

As a result of over six years of research and development, coupled with an effort to meet and exceed the United States Air Force and United States Naval requirement for aircrew training, ETC is pleased to provide its flexible and expanded Enhanced Field of View (EFOV) Visual System.

Available in 2010 for all of ETC's motion based Authentic Tactical Fighting Systems - sustained G, high fidelity simulation has been taken to a new level!

ADVANTAGES

The benefits of the wrap-around, projected dome EFOV visual system can be summed up in a few words - the ability to realistically train like you will fight:

  • Forward view is 210° H x 120° V FOV and Rear view is 120° H X 70° V FOV (available in Fall of 2009) to create a highly realistic flight environment
  • HLA link capability with other simulators provides expanded flight applications
  • The ability to accomplish the full range of tactical maneuvers in a sustained G environment
  • Total immersion of the pilot into the simulated scenario creating "suspension of disbelief"
  • Maximum transfer of learned skills from the simulator to the aircraft
  • Improved threat system
  • Refined aeromodels for specific type/model/series of aircraft (i.e., an aeromodel for the F-35)
  • The ability to fly at any time of day, in any kind of weather
