Training is a constant issue in the hard-fought (literally)
world of the combat pilot. In the areas where pilots are ready for
action, there are usually a scarcity of the support systems that
they might have known in more civilized locales. There's certainly
little room for some of the most complex training devices and sims
in the vicinity of an active combat zone.... but that may no longer
be true due to a novel approach by an innovative military simulator
company by the name of Zedasoft.
ZedaSoft is a 'spin-off' from RIVA Technologies... which made
the change in 2000 to focus exclusively on the simulation and
visualization marketplace. RIVA had been providing simulation
software development since its inception in 1993 for companies such
as Lockheed Martin, Raytheon Training, Federal Aviation
Administration, Silicon Graphics and SportSimulation, Inc. In 1996
RIVA also began producing interactive learning products on CDROM
and web based testing products to the commercial markets. These
products have become very successful and represent the state-of-the
art in the web based e-learning industry.
Based on this success, it was important for RIVA to focus on
these products, but at the same time make sure focus and attention
was applied in continuing its support for the simulation software
clients it developed. In response to this need, ZedaSoft was spun
off as a separate company to serve this marketplace and provide
dedicated resources to its clientele. Though many of the technical
resources still exchange technologies and ideas between the
companies, the management focus for each company is dedicated to
serving their specific industry.
The Portable Simulator Desktop (PSD) concept alluded to, above,
is an all-in-one aircraft simulator desktop control and computer
system in a single travel case. The PSD is ideal for deployment
training and portable aggressor stations. Our CBA of Simulation
software is included with each unit, which can be tailored to
simulate your desired cockpit systems. The entire system can be
set-up in minutes and includes options for three 20" LCD visual
scene channels or large 30" LCD?s for both the out-the-window and
instrument displays. Pricing starts at $50,000 US per unit and
supports a number of current fighter aircraft such as the F-16,
FA-18 and F-22.
