By: Mario Almonte “As the undisputed leader in the aviation market, Boeing sets the pace of innovation for the entire industry,” noted Zoran Veselic, vice president of Christie's Visual Environments division. “Boeing’ Christie worked with Boeing during the design phase to ensure that the projection system met the program requirements. Currently deployed worldwide and used for in-theater training, the LCT is a full mission, high-fidelity flight simulator that provides training for individuals, crews and maintenance test pilots. Its new image-generator technology allows for the display of more realistic “out-the-window” The LCT ensures the highest state of readiness and safety for its customers. The device provides a high level of realism that offers top quality training in a safe environment. The Christie Matrix StIM's solid state, LED-based illumination system also offers unprecedented stability and reliability, critical features that speak to Boeing’s strategy for providing customers with cutting-edge, value-added solutions to meet their specific needs. The LCT simulators are used around the world and can be operated independently as well as networked with other trainers for collective training capability. They can be deployed in a wide range of environments, giving pilots ample, on-site opportunity to meet their training needs and rehearse their missions safely. The Christie Matrix StIM is the world’s first true solid state LED-based simulation projection system. The Matrix StIM is packed with innovations, including: ArrayLOC to manage brightness, color and dark levels automatically; About Boeing A unit of The Boeing Company, Boeing Defense, Space & Security is one of the world's largest defense, space and security businesses specializing in innovative and capabilities- About Christie Christie Digital Systems USA, Inc. a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ushio Inc., Japan, (JP:6925), designs, builds and installs customized projection display solutions.
