E&S to Supply Image Generation Technology for German Helicopter Program.SALT LAKE CITY--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 27, 1997-- STN ATLAS STN ATLAS Elektronik GmbH was a German defence company, producing sensors and other electronic or computer components such as Radar, Sonar, fire-control systems, simulations. DISI-6 Visual System Will Be First Military Application Using E&S Harmony Technology Evans & Sutherland Computer Corp. (E&S(R)) (NASDAQ NASDAQ in full National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations U.S. market for over-the-counter securities. Established in 1971 by the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), NASDAQ is an automated quotation system that reports on :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 ) Wednesday announced that its Harmony(TM) image processing image processing Set of computational techniques for analyzing, enhancing, compressing, and reconstructing images. Its main components are importing, in which an image is captured through scanning or digital photography; analysis and manipulation of the image, accomplished technology will be incorporated into the new DISI-6(R) low-altitude visual system from STN ATLAS Elektronik GmbH of Bremen, Germany, as part of a cooperative agreement. STN ATLAS will supply DISI-6 visual systems to CAE (1) (Computer-Aided Engineering) Software that analyzes designs which have been created in the computer or that have been created elsewhere and entered into the computer. Elektronik GmbH, the prime contractor for the German Army's SIM NTF NTF No Transaction Fee NTF National Turkey Federation NTF No Trouble Found NTF National Transfer Format (UK Geographic Data Standard) aka BS7567 NTF Nigeria Trust Fund NTF National Transonic Facility NTF Noise Transfer Function helicopter training program. The SIM NTF helicopter program initially calls for the delivery of two CH-53 and two UH-1D flight simulators flight simulator, device providing a controlled environment in which a flight trainee can experience conditions approximating those of actual flight. A simulator generally consists of an enclosure housing a working replica of the interior of the cockpit of an , including head-mounted sensor simulation, for daytime and nighttime low-altitude pilot training. This will be the first application of E&S's Harmony image processing technology in a visual system for military training. Furthermore, STN ATLAS will use E&S's Integrator NT(TM) software for the creation and real-time rendering of large-area, correlated synthetic environments. E&S's agreement with STN ATLAS is valued at $8 million, with options expected to be exercised over the next two years valued at an additional $12 million. "Our Harmony image processing technology delivers compelling price/performance at a time when military customers worldwide are demanding more flexible, lower-cost alternatives to meet their training needs. "We're extremely pleased to provide our long-time business associate, STN ATLAS, with this technology for its DISI-6 visual systems," said Ron Sutherland, general manager of E&S's Government Simulation Division. Evans & Sutherland Evans & Sutherland develops and manufactures hardware and software to produce highly realistic 3D synthetic worlds. E&S business units deliver high-quality visual systems and graphics subsystems for civil aviation, defense, and commercial applications, as well as high-performance systems for digital studio, desktop graphics, entertainment, and education.
