Quantum3D to provide Mantis software to Lockheed

Lockheed Martin Aeronautics has awarded a contract to Quantum3D to provide Mantis real-time scene management software for installation in its Simulation Systems Integration Labs (SimSILs) at Fort Worth, Marietta, and Palmdale, US.

Offering real-time 3D environments for military fixed- and rotary-wing aircraft, Quantum3D-built Mantis software can also be applied for ground vehicle, tank, mission rehearsal, and sensor simulation, as well as for a wide range of other commercial vehicles.

Quantum3D president Arthur Yan said, "Lockheed Martin’s decision to expand its Mantis footprint is a testament to both the scope and integrity of Mantis’ extraordinary real-time 3D scene management capabilities."

"As the complexities of global defense and commercial aerospace increase, Quantum3D is committed to providing the highest-quality, most powerful, effective and cost-efficient simulation solutions anywhere in the world."

In addition to providing engineering simulation services to internal and external customers for development of control laws and avionics, the SimSILs Labs provides services such as verification testing of operational flight programmes, analysis of lethality and survivability, and business development.

Capable of providing highly realistic, real-time, out-the-window and sensor scenes for fixed- and rotary-wing aircraft, ground vehicles, and sea-borne platforms, Mantis software can be used for training, mission rehearsal, and engineering simulation.
