Quantum3D Awarded Multi-Million Dollar Contract by Conair

Quantum3D was awarded a contract by Conair Group Inc. to design, build, and deliver five fully Networked Flight Training Devices for the world's first aerial firefighting training and tactics center in Abbotsford, British Columbia, Canada. In addition, Quantum3D will be working with aerial firefighting subject matter experts from Conair to jointly develop advanced wildfire simulation software and training scenarios to improve the efficiency and safety of aerial firefighting.

Quantum3D has partnered with Aerx Labs for the reconfigurable cockpits, Q4 Services for the visual displays, and DBox for the 3-axis motion platforms.

The five integrated training devices are being designed tobe reconfigurable to simulate the cockpit and flight dynamics for 8 differentaircraft platforms performing different roles in an aerial firefightingmission. Each of these reconfigurable FTD's will be able to perform individualor joint training encompassing different aircraft platforms and scenarios.

“Quantum3D will also emphasize the coordination andinteraction of multiple elements in the execution of a mission”, said MarkMatthews, President, Quantum3D.

In addition, the custom wildfire simulation software beingdeveloped will not only be simulating the ground fire and effects of the aerialretardant being applied by the trainees but will also be simulating the dynamicand dangerous environmental changes created by the fire that pilots mayencounter.
