Upgrade of French Tiger and Rafale Simulators at Centre d’Essais en Vol (CEV)
Case study
CEV’s Tiger helicopter and Rafale aircraft simulators provide the French army with the ability to study and assess Tiger and Rafale upgraded configurations for a wide variety of operational missions. The full-mission simulator configuration includes a dual dome for individual pilots and other vital crew. CEV has three domes: one 10m and two 8m with BarcoGraphics 801 and 808 projection systems. CEV wanted to upgrade its existing aircraft simulation domes to increase visual and training performance. CEV chose Barco to refurbish its existing aircraft simulation domes. The upgrade solution consists of Barco SIM 6 Ultra II and BarcoGraphics 908 projection systems. It will provide the extremely high resolution and contrast ratio in order to support the demanding visualization requirements of the Tiger and Rafale to display all-weather conditions, during day, dusk, or night. The upgrade solution also includes the Barco LDAT (Laser Diode Array Tool), a permanent maintenance tool to effectively align display channels, and the Barco Polaris, a pattern-generating software tool to match the geometry of the simulation domes.
