VDC Display Systems New Technology Projectors Delivered for the U.S. Air Force Visual Threat Recognition and Avoidance Trainer
30 September 2010 - 8:55PM
Video Display Corporation (Nasdaq:VIDE) announced today that its
VDC Display Systems (VDC DS) subsidiary has successfully installed
a new upgrade for the existing display system on the Visual Threat
Recognition and Avoidance Trainer (VTRAT) devices to train U.S. Air
Force, Air Force Reserve, and Air National Guard crewmembers to
recognize and respond to anti-aircraft threats.
The upgrade utilizes VDC's MarqueeHD SSL6200Ultra DLP® Projector
with Solid State Light engine specifically developed to meet
today's support requirements offering over 50,000 operational
maintenance free hours. Designed like a flight trainer, VTRAT
creates views of ground threats—missiles and anti-aircraft
artillery—as they would be seen through an aircraft window. The
students training on VTRAT can see the environment on a
high-resolution 67-inch display system, from the perspective of a
certain duty position on the aircraft. The students hear the
instructional text through a headset and interact with the trainer
via a voice recognition system.
This installation follows significant and intense testing and
evaluation of the new MarqueeHD SSL6200Ultra DLP® Projector with
Solid State Light engine technology by VDC DS, BAE Systems, and the
U.S. Air Force. The delivered projectors are replacing older
CRT type projectors currently installed in the fielded VTRAT
simulators. Key features of the new projector include: No
consumable lamps, LED illumination, MTBF in excess of 50,000 hours,
high color stability, excellent color saturation, low heat
generation, low power consumption, no orientation limitations,
light weight, numerous lens options, guaranteed long production
life and full dedicated product support. The controllable
Infrared was a key option in selecting these new projectors for
'night vision training'. Future deliveries of the new projection
systems for the U.S. Air Force are expected to continue through at
least 2014. VDC Display Systems Director of U.S. Military Business
Development, Art Banman, stated, "VDC Display Systems is extremely
proud and excited about the very successful installation of the new
technology projectors. This was the culmination of a long period of
very intensive development and testing activity. All of the program
objectives were achieved and VDC DS is very much looking forward to
delivering many more of these projectors to the U.S. Air Force
VTRAT sites." About Video Display Corporation
