Ideal Aerosmith announces simulation system for COMANCHE helicopter program
September 12, 2003
Lonnie Rogers, President of Ideal Aerosmith, Inc. announced that it has been awarded a contract from Sikorsky Aircraft to design, develop, and manufacture a simulation system to support the U.S. Army's COMANCHE helicopter program. He went on to say that this new system is one of the most advanced applications of Ideal Aerosmith's technological achievements that were gained over its six decades of producing precision rate and positioning motion tables. He also stated, "The selection of Ideal Aerosmith by Sikorsky for this important segment of the COMANCHE program is indeed an honor and a testament to our accomplishments in the motion simulation field."
This new motion simulation system will be used in the COMANCHE Aircraft Integration Facility (ACIF) Laboratory. The rate table will facilitate integration of mission equipment and replicate the positional relationships of sensors and weapon systems during typical mission scenarios. The high degree of mission simulation fidelity afforded by use of the rate table in conjunction with actual aircraft assets will reduce integration risks.
Ideal Aerosmith is a leading manufacturer of precision motion control test systems and automatic equipment, and also provides contract manufacturing services to the aerospace industry. It is a privately held company with headquarters and main plant in East Grand Forks MN, satellite engineering and manufacturing operations in Pomona CA and Phoenix AZ, and sales offices in Redmond WA, Olathe KS, and Cromwell CT.
