Training is a vital component of military and commercial aviation, as it prepares pilots and crew members for various scenarios and challenges they may encounter in the real world. However, traditional simulation and training solutions often lack the realism, flexibility and scalability that modern missions and operations require. To address this gap, Collins Aerospace, a business unit of RTX, has introduced a new image generator that combines advanced rendering and processing tools with gaming technology to deliver immersive and modular aircrew training. The image generator, called Arcus, is designed to provide realistic and complex synthetic training environments for various platforms, including military and commercial aircraft.
