Lockheed Martin has selected Chistie MicroTiles LED as a critical component of its Amorphic Appearance Zero-Projector Environment (AMAZE) visual display system for the F-35 Lightning II program.
Christie will supply customised, low-latency MicroTiles LED for AMAZE systems to meet the demands of the F-35 program. Each system includes over 1300 MicroTiles LED modules to create a highly immersive, 360-degree domed simulated environment for flight training.
AMAZE features a smaller footprint compared to projector-based training systems, a modular design for tailorable fields of view, and reduced system complexity.
Lockheed Martin describes AMAZE as the next generation in immersive pilot training technology and leads the training and simulation industry to a new era of low-maintenance, high-fidelity trainers. AMAZE increases visual system performance, expanding the simulator training curriculum opportunities while decreasing the life cycle costs beyond traditional, projector-based systems in use today. The system is for a variety of simulation, training, and immersive experiences for the defense industry, commercial companies, and academic institutions.
