Richardson, TX - January 8, 2007 - MultiGen-Paradigm®, Inc., (MultiGen), a wholly owned subsidiary of Parallax Capital Partners, LLC providing real-time, 3D visual simulation solutions, and Concurrent (NASDAQ:CCUR), a leading provider of time-critical Linux® operating systems and integrated computer solutions for mission-critical applications, today jointly announced that Lockheed Martin has selected their integrated 3D software and IG (image generator) solution for the U.S. Air Force Air Education and Training Command. The contract calls for providing hardware and software to support two refurbished F-16 flight cockpit simulators at the Networked Training Center (NTC) facility, Luke Air Force Base in Arizona USA.
“The selection of these vendors was based on their offering of COTS products, the overall solution provided, and the fact that they were able to commit to a very short delivery schedule with low risk at a very cost effective price” stated Norman Ackerson, Lockheed Martin Program Manager at Luke’s NTC.
Luke Air Force Base purchased the integrated MultiGen/Concurrent solution which includes fourteen (14) channels for each cockpit with OTW (out the window) and sensor (night vision goggles, infrared) capability based on MultiGen’s software solutions. The chosen ImaGen visual server multi-channel configuration is powered by Concurrent’s RedHawk™ real-time Linux®, compatible with Red Hat® Enterprise Linux 4. The first cockpit is to be ready in early 2007 and will require professional services efforts to upgrade Luke’s database plus integration efforts.
“Luke AFB is a very important customer to us, they exercise a majority of our products capabilities in their cockpit simulators which drives us to further advance our product capabilities to support leading edge training for the warfighter,” stated Sandeep Divekar, President of MultiGen. “We are pleased to continue this longstanding relationship and are excited about providing our unique strengths in correlated training in all wavelengths including OTW, NVG and IR with this integrated solution in conjunction with Concurrent”.
"Concurrent is extremely pleased to be chosen as the IG visual server platform for the F-16 upgrade program," said Ken Jackson, VP of Special Systems, Concurrent. "We believe the combined solution of MultiGen’s visualization software, Concurrent’s ImaGen visual server and Concurrent’s real-time Linux implementation of Foresight’s AccuStream 170 Frame Grabber & Video Streamer, will provide a powerful platform for F16 simulation.”
