Following an extended partnership between Vrgineers and Razbam Simulations, the fresh F-15E Strike Eagle simulator will be unveiled for the first instance at the IT2EC exhibition in Rotterdam. The enterprises aspire to supply economical, adjustable COTS trainers to the U.S. Air Force, amalgamating Vrgineers’ Portable Trainer and XTAL 3 Virtual Headset with the F-15E Strike Eagle model from Razbam. The F-15E Strike Eagle model was launched earlier this year and is accessible to anyone utilizing Digital Combat Simulator at home. This exclusive concept enables Air Forces to practice collaboration and mission drills using the most sophisticated and economical solution currently in the market.
Portable Trainers are straightforward to set up and comfortable to transport (by two individuals). The apparatus provides the utmost immersion level, courtesy of XTAL, a 180-degree field of view, and a 4k resolution headset. Rising demand for pilots, endorsement of virtual pilot training to safeguard aviation security, and the necessity to decrease pilot training costs are the significant reasons why we witness a swift escalation in the usage of these COTS trainers as a component of expanding Pilot Next, RVCT, and other advanced training programs.
“The fusion we achieved with Vrgineers simulators allows all the features of our model to morph into a supreme training solution and provides a cost-effective solution for all F-15E air forces and operators,” states Ronald Zambrano, CEO & founder of Razbam Simulations.
“The accuracy of the RAZBAM F-15E Strike Eagle is astonishing. The level of detail in the cockpit and the extent of functions available, in combination with our trainers, enables practically anyone to become a proficient F-15 pilot. We predict that by 2030 every pilot will have one of these trainers readily available and can operate it from home,” mentions Marek Polcak, CEO & co-founder of Vrgineers.
The remainder of the instrumental panel and cockpit is virtual. All switch and knob manipulations are handled by hand tracking of the trackball, granting a pilot access to the full capabilities. The existing platform is unfit for procedural training due to the absence of necessary features for muscle memory training. However, Vrgineers is progressing towards a mixed-reality rendition of the F-15E trainer, intended to be introduced for the first time at the I/ITSEC in Orlando this year. The mixed reality setup will permit comprehensive 1:1 training. Adding to all of the above, the F-15E model integrates the new TALON AI, a co-pilot AI managing tactical tasks such as locking the target and navigation.
Vrgineers is a pioneer in developing immersive technologies concentrated on training professional fighter jets and helicopter pilots. The company designs and produces its XTAL headset for virtual and mixed reality. The company’s product portfolio also encompasses flight simulators – the Classroom, Portable, and Custom Trainer. The XTAL headset is developed based on the priorities of professional pilots and instructors from the international aviation community to meet the most stringent requirements for realistic simulation. The company achieved this through the unique blend of a broad field of view and high image quality that XTAL delivers. Vrgineers simulators form the foundation of a contemporary synthetic training platform.
