South San Francisco, Calif. – 17 September 2024  — Aechelon Technology Inc. announced today that the U.S. Mobility Air Force and ADS Inc. have executed an initial order for three C-5 Weapons Systems Trainers for upgrade to the Common Database and Visual System Solution for MAF. This upgrade includes new Image, and Radar Data Generation Systems, and warp and blend system. 

The Image Generators are required to support high fidelity Global Databases provided by Aechelon. Aechelon Technology will supply its state-of-the-art pC-NOVA Nucleus™ 8-GPU Image Generators, a true multi-spectral multi-channel compact image generator featuring Multi-GPU NVIDIA® Professional® with a dramatically reduced footprint. The Aechelon Nucleus combines C4ISR grade GPU-based simulation of OTW, NVG, EO/IR, and Radar support.

The system integrates a full resolution worldwide 3D visual and sensor database with extensive domestic and foreign areas of interest. AFLCMC will provide Aechelon’s systems as Government Furnished Equipment yielding higher capability at a lower Life Cycle cost with rapid technology insertion cycles and sustainability for systems and databases.

This Global database is already deployed and being used on other DoD programs without the need for down-sampling, de-rating, or modification, thus ensuring complete correlation and commonality with other U.S. DoD devices also utilizing Aechelon Technology Image Generators.
