E&S PC-IG Selected for Maritime Simulation.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers SALT LAKE CITY--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 24, 2002 Evans & Sutherland Computer Corp. (Nasdaq: ESCC ESCC Eastern Shore Community College ESCC East Sussex County Council ESCC Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma ESCC Enhanced Serial Communication(s) Controller ESCC Electrically Self-Calibrating Cavity ) -- The RTM (1) (RealTime Model) Refers to a system or architecture that performs operations in real time. See real time. (2) (Release/Released To M Simulation, Training, Assessment, and Research (STAR) Center(R) has selected E&S's simFUSION(R) PC image generator to upgrade the visuals on their current maritime bridge trainer at their Dania Beach, Fla., facility. The first use of simFUSION 4500q for a maritime application, the upgrade will be installed in November by Kongsberg Maritime Kongsberg Maritime (KM) is a Norwegian technology enterprise within the Kongsberg Gruppen (KOG). Kongsberg Maritime deliver systems for positioning, surveying, navigation and automation to merchant vessels and offshore installations. Ship Systems (KMSS KMSS Key Management Software Support ). The RTM STAR Center conducted an extensive evaluation of PC-IGs before specifying the simFUSION 4500q. The evaluation included reviews against KMSS benchmarks as well as actual trials of a number of systems. The RTM STAR Center selected the 4500q over other PC-IGs for its sustained 60 Hz update rate and ease of installation. "The selection of the simFUSION 4500q was based on the outstanding performance it provides today and the upgrade path to the simFUSION 5000 family of products it provides as future maritime visual requirements change," said RTM STAR Center's Director Brian Long. "We have been very pleased with the positive results achieved through the working relationships and coordination among KMSS, STAR Center, and E&S personnel," said David Fluegeman, E&S vice president of Simulation Systems Sales and Business Development. The RTM STAR Center features advanced simulation training equipment, including 250- and 360-degree full-mission bridges, slow-speed and medium-speed diesel engine room simulators, liquid cargo, radar/ARPA, and GMDSS GMDSS Global Maritime Distress & Safety System simulators. Located in Dania Beach, and Toledo, Ohio
