The partnership is aimed to develop a new simulation and high-performance Image Generator concept for aircraft digital design and pilots training.
The technology approach is based on the extensive use of the digital twin concept design. This includes leveraging cutting-edge technology available in the market, complemented by Leonardo proprietary solutions, for all the components of the digital ecosystem, including gaming technology.
Through Unreal Engine, Leonardo will bring incredible real-time experiences, enabling realistic virtual environments, increasing the number of entities and complexity in the virtual scenario. The technology will integrate with all Leonardo’s training devices, as the full-flight simulators, flight training and procedural training tools and others, with an aim to reach innovative Mixed Reality and Virtual Reality solutions. Furthermore, the software will be a game changer for a set of ongoing advanced developments, like the 'wearable cockpit' in next generation combat and training aircraft.
This latest achievement was possible thanks to the strong cross-business synergies at Leonardo, involving the Aircraft and Leonardo Global Solutions teams in relation to the procurement of the best engineering services for the company.
