Orlando, Florida— December 3, 2024 — ZEISS and Aechelon Technology Inc. proudly announce the debut of a revolutionary simulation system integrating ZEISS’ cutting-edge dual-DMD projector, delivering 4K resolution at 240Hz with a stunning 5,000,000:1 native contrast ratio.
This industry-first collaboration is being showcased at the I/ITSEC 2024 conference in Orlando, Florida, at ZEISS Booth #909. The demonstration highlights the capabilities of two VELVET 4K SIM projectors operating at maximum resolution and frame rate. The system also features simultaneous Out-the-Window (OTW) visible spectrum and Night Vision Goggles (NVG) near-infrared projection, seamlessly integrated with Aechelon’s state-of-the-art image generator and advanced geospatial databases.
“Our partnership with ZEISS exemplifies Aechelon’s commitment to fostering innovation through collaboration with Germany’s industrial fabric,” said Javier Castellar, Co-Founder & Chief Strategy Officer at Aechelon Technology, Inc. “This integration sets a new standard for simulation technology, offering unparalleled fidelity and realism.”.
Sven Ziebart, Director of Simulation Projector Solutions at ZEISS, elaborated on the projector’s advanced engineering: “True black in projection requires the complete elimination of residual light. By utilizing dual DMD chips from Texas Instruments and proprietary optical components from ZEISS, we’ve achieved a level of image perfection previously unattainable.”
The demonstration system integrates Aechelon’s Image Generator with a high-resolution worldwide 3D visual and sensor database, which includes extensive coverage of domestic and foreign areas of interest. This global database is already operational in Department of Defense (DoD) and Allied Nations programs, ensuring seamless compatibility and commonality.
I/ITSEC 2024 attendees are invited to experience the next generation of simulation technology firsthand. This breakthrough represents a significant advancement in training solutions for military and aerospace applications, meeting the evolving needs of today’s defense and aviation industries.
