Orad Hi-Tec Systems 07 July 2005 EADS Deutschland and ORAD Agree Partnership in Image Generator Solutions for Training and Flight Simulation Kfar Saba, Israel - 7th July, 2005 - Orad Hi-Tec Systems Limited (Symbol: OHT), world leader in graphics visualisation, virtual sets, on-air graphics and sports production tools today announces a strategic agreement with leading aircraft manufacturer and simulation supplier EADS. Under the agreement, EADS Deutschland GmbH a leading simulation provider and Orad Deutschland GmbH will work together over the next 3 years in the support and supply of high end image generator solutions for training and for flight simulation. The partners will exchange their technology plans and share resources in key demonstrations, focusing on the military and civilian aircraft industries. As a first step EADS simulation acquired its first Orad scalable graphics cluster for the German Air Force's service and support centre in Manching Germany for the Euro Fighter programme. Tim Otte, Senior Manager Simulation at EADS, said: 'We are looking at ORAD as more than a mere technology provider: their support and close cooperation give us confidence that our future partnership will be very fruitful '. Orad's offering uses off-the-shelf technologies in graphics or PC components together with proprietary elements to offer better antialiasing, performance and user-friendliness. Using a unique technology of video compositing housed on the DVG VRX card, PC clusters can be designed with any number of graphic cards working in parallel to compute an infinite number of polygons and mapped pixels. The solution offers strong future-proofing, as individual components can be upgraded as soon as they become available on the market. In addition the VR-X Cluster Manager offers an easy to use GUI which allows users to re-configure the number of nodes per channel. 'Such requirements are common to many industries, and this partnership with EADS shows that military or civilian simulation graphics can benefit from the same visual features required in MCAD, design or virtual reality markets while not bearing the cost or time-to-market of a solution targeted purely at their narrow application' said Guillaume Otrage, Product Manager VR and Simulation at ORAD.
