MANTIS-1

Image Generation Software Real-Time Scene Management Software supported on a range of platforms from off-the-shelf PCs to advanced multi-channel Independence® Image Generators. The MANTIS® Advantages A key tool in the training and simulation market, MANTIS is a module based image genereration frames-per-second (FPS) or more, for use in a variety of simulation and training applications. Mantis focuses on providing exceptionally realistic imagery delivered at fixed frame rates to maximize suspension of disbelief. Unique effects and specific features can be created by developers to meet the demands of almost any simulation and training need. MANTIS’ architecture supports a full range of special effects, sensors, weather, and lighting, along with mission functions such as height-above-terrain and line-of-sight intersection testing. Quantum3D’s plug-ins extend Mantis to support additional visual effects, such as ocean effects, rotorwash and more. MANTIS is compatible with Windows or Linux for easy configuration and management, leveraging the industry standard CIGI protocol to interface with the host system. MANTIS offers advanced visual simulation solutions for multiple applications, including fixed and rotary-wing flight simulation, ground vehicle simulation, tank simulation, maritime simulation, mission rehearsal, sensor simulation and more.
