Boeing military pilot training system taps JVC 8K projectors to enhance realism, fidelity, immersion

WAYNE, N.J., 5 Dec. 2012. During the Interservice/Industry Training, Simulation, and Education Conference (I/ITSEC) in Orlando this week, Boeing (NYSE:BA) is demonstrating its Constant Resolution Visual System (CRVS) that, with the aid of JVC’s e-Shift 8K projection technology, delivers nearly four times the resolution of high definition (HD) and enables more realistic, high-fidelity, and effective military training.

CRVS with JVC e-Shift 8K projectors better prepare military pilots by allowing them to train in a more realistic yet safe environment, explains Barry Kuhlmann, visual systems engineering manager at Boeing.

“Image quality counts, whether it’s for entertainment, education, or next-generation flight training,” says Rod Sterling, chief engineer, JVC Technology Center. “We designed our e-Shift 8K projector to register down to 1/16th pixel accuracy to provide the unparalleled clarity and sharpness that Boeing customers demand.”

CRVS is compatible with a range of fast jet and rotary-wing cockpits and aviator night-vision goggles, and integrates with current and future head-mounted displays (HMDs). Existing CRVS customers can upgrade to JVC e-Shift 8K without modifying screens or structure.
