ORLANDO, Fla., June 11, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Lockheed Martin
(NYSE: LMT) has launched the latest version of RELY3D®, an advanced
visualization and training tool for Apache AH-64 sensor system
maintainers.
RELY3D originated from an employee idea to improve maintenance
efficiency through interactive training content. The tool leverages
capabilities from popular commercial gaming technology to transform
training into advanced visualization modules, reducing training
time by up to 60 percent.
"RELY3D is an invaluable tool for our new employees who are just
learning about our sensors, as well as field maintainers. With this
tool, maintainers can troubleshoot and perform maintenance on the
flight line, dramatically reducing cost and increasing system
availability," Lockheed Martin Apache Fire Control Program Director
Matt Hoffman said. "As the industry
pushes to advance training capabilities, we continue to innovate
advanced technology and deliver affordable solutions for the Apache
aviation community."
RELY3D reduces maintenance and repair time through its intuitive
interface on the Apache Modernized Target Acquisition Designation
Sight and Pilotage Night Vision Sensor (M-TADS/PNVS) and LONGBOW®
Fire Control Radar (FCR) systems by placing high fidelity,
technically accurate 3-D models into the hands of maintainers via a
mobile tablet or laptop. The tool is also being developed for use
on other rotary and fixed-wing aircraft sensors and weapons
systems.
M-TADS/PNVS provides Apache helicopter pilots with long-range,
precision engagement and pilotage capabilities for mission success
and flight safety during day and night, and in adverse weather
conditions. To date, Lockheed Martin has delivered more than
1,400 M-TADS/PNVS systems and spares
to the U.S. Army and 16 international customers in 15 nations.
LONGBOW® FCR, developed by the LONGBOW Limited Liability Company
(LBL) – a joint venture of Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman –
automatically searches, detects, locates, classifies and
prioritizes multiple moving targets to 16km, or stationary targets,
on land, on the water, or in the air, in clear or adverse weather,
and in obscured battlefields – giving commanders the precision
engagement capabilities necessary to win the battle. LONGBOW
has delivered nearly 500 systems to the U.S. Army and 13
international customers in 12 nations.
Lockheed Martin also provides training and simulation systems
for aircraft maintainers supporting numerous U.S. and international
platforms including the C-130J, F-16, F-35, and basic flight
training courses in countries such as Australia and the U.K.
