SimuSphere^TM is a new scalable visual system display developed by Link Simulation and Training that is being used on three fighter simulator programs today.

Designed as a partial dodecahedron dome, SimuSphere^TM makes use of advancements in projection technology to provide optimum air-to-air and air-to-ground training.

Each of the display's screen facets is the same general size and shape. Through this design approach screen images have a constant brightness and resolution. This feature improves the ability of pilots to track an air target or ground feature around the dome during a complex flight maneuver.

In fact, SimuSphere's displayed images provide the highest resolution available from a single projector and image generator per screen.

Depending on visual system training requirements, SimuSphere^TM can be configured with three, five, seven or nine facets to meet a customer's desired visual system field-of-view. A nine facet design provides a full field-of-view for most applications and customers can expand three, five and seven facet configurations to meet emerging training requirements.

SimuSphere^TM has been integrated on F/A-18 Tactical Operational Flight Trainers that have been delivered to the U.S. Navy. The display system also is being used on F-22 Full Mission Trainers, which will support training tasks ranging from formation flight to air refueling to within visual range combat. In addition, a three-panel SimuSphere^TM visual display system is being integrated on an F-16C Block 52+ Aircrew Training Device that will be delivered to the Hellenic Air Force in 2004.
