CAE Launches New CAE Prodigy IG

CAE is announcing the launch of its new CAE Prodigy image generator (IG) at I/ITSEC 2021.

The CAE Prodigy IG leverages Epic Games' Unreal Engine, a gaming engine that delivers high-fidelity graphics, physics-based simulation, and the ability to support a thousand-fold increase in the number of entities in a virtual environment.

During I/ITSEC, CAE (Booth 1734) will be demonstrating the new CAE Prodigy IG as part of the CAE e-Series MR Prodigy Visual System, a comprehensive visual solution combining the image generator, projectors and dome display into an integrated training system designed specifically for fighter and fast-jet training applications.

The CAE Prodigy IG builds on the proven features of CAE’s existing family of image generators and includes full support for the Open Geospatial Consortium Common Database (OGC CDB). Some of the key features and capabilities of the new CAE Prodigy IG include scalable quantities of entities and lifeforms to realistically populate virtual environments; support for artificial intelligence to deliver a thousand-fold increase in realistic scene content; leverages commercial-off-the-shelf hardware and software in a smaller footprint, thus delivering more affordable total cost of ownership; support for industry standards, including Windows 10, OpenGL, Open Flight, and OGC CDB; compatible with up to 8K projectors and up to 120Hz operation; and cybersecure compliant to the highest standards.
