NewsOctober 05, 2015
ST. LOUIS. The U.S. Air Force and Boeing completed all F-22 Raptor Mission Training Centers upgrades with the high-fidelity Constant Resolution Visual System (CRVS). Final installations of the high resolution imagery system into the F-22 simulators were done at Tyndall Air Force Base in Florida.
The CRVS system trains pilots in a realistic visual environment, allowing them to experience extreme maneuvers typically only practiced in a simulator, officials say. The display provides high-resolution imagery for pilots with nearly 20/20 acuity in an immersive, 360-degree visual environment.
“Boeing’s CRVS is unique in that, unlike any other visual system, it provides the warfighter with constant target visibility throughout the entire field of vision,” says Scott Whitaker, Boeing’s display team manager.
"The final installation of the Boeing Constant Resolution Visual System improves the realism of ground-based training and increases mission readiness for pilots," says Lt. Col. Matthew Zamiska, 325th Training Support Squadron commander. "This is paramount for Tyndall's mission of training and projecting unrivaled combat airpower."
CRVS is also found in other aircraft simulators including the F-15 Eagle, AH-64 Apache, M-346 Master, BAE Hawk, and F-16 Fighting Falcon.
