EP-8100

The EP®-8100 image generation system is designed for mission success. In a market where all other image generators are based on video-game graphics cards, the EP-8100 is driven by real-time, simulation-specific graphics cards and software designed for your real mission. It provides unmatched procurement cycles of five to eight years and life-cycle support in excess of 15 years. While leveraging game-like concepts, the real-time software is specifically designed for simulation and training applications.
