The small footprint system relies on Saab’s new tactical,
support and training system and the Barco-produced 240-degree spherical
dome simulator that offers an eight channel projection system, alignment
and control tools, and dedicated peripheral devices.
The mini-dome simulator, according to a Saab spokesman, “provides
eye relief over the entire spherical surface and optimizes out-of-window
scenes.” The spherical shape maintains a constant distance
between the pilot’s eyes and the projected simulation.”
The degree of realism is more acute than that achieved by current
technology, the official asserted.
