Ankara, Türkiye headquartered flight-simulator-solution-provider and manufacturer HAVELSAN announced that the upgrade work for 360° Rear Projected Dome Display System has been successfully completed within the framework of the TurAF’s F-16 Full Mission Simulator.
Fully in-house engineered upgrade concept includes replacement of Legacy LCoS projectors installed on the system with state of the art NVG compatible Solid state LED DLP Projectors. The upgrade involves replacing of the Automatic Alignment System with a brand-new, high quality Automatic Alignment System that features single-click calibration. Automatically controlled Motorized Optical Blending system is integrated to the system to enhance night and NVG training.
A significant improvement has been detected after the system upgrade. Color and Luminance stability of the system will be guaranteed for long term due to usage of DLP Projection System with Solid-state LED illumination source. This will ensure to decrease maintenance effort and operational costs substantially during the lifetime of the Simulator.
Upgrade concept reckons with using Legacy Image Generators (thus Host Software and Visual Database) and Mechanical support structure to minimize the integration effort, also lowering the cost/schedule effect of the upgrade work.
The upgrade of the display system proves HAVELSAN’s commitment to excellence in its display systems, elevating the efficiency and vividness of the training conducted in the simulator.

As we start our journey with the industry-giant we are delighted to be working with the aviation academies in the US and across Europe to help connect their inter-Atlantic training programs.
It’s been such a pleasure working with David Morse and Jon Micetic to get this partnership underway, and during that time, we’ve seen firsthand why they excel.
The level of care and insight they have into their complex operation, their respect for their customers, and their dedication to ensuring that safety and quality are not just spoken words, but deeply ingrained in their culture, are truly remarkable.

Our software offers transparent, precise tracking of student progress and provides visibility of the necessary resources for on-time completion. With CAE leading the way in airline cadet programs, accurate progress tracking is essential, and we’re delighted to contribute this vital information to elevate CAE even further.
From the outset of our journey, we recognised the importance of having industry partners who endeavour to provide the best possible experience for their students and stakeholders. These partnerships empower and inspire us, and propel us towards our goal of revolutionising pilot training.
