Providing pilots with 3D imagery helps improve situational awareness

Advanced Micro Devices Inc. has announced that Rockwell Collins, a leader in communications and avionics systems for the aerospace and defense industries, has selected the AMD Radeon (TM) E2400 embedded graphics processor for inclusion in its highly-intuitive, integrated flight deck solution, Pro Line Fusion (TM). Chosen for its advanced 3D graphics rendering capabilities, the AMD Radeon E2400 helps generate realistic graphical models of the external aircraft environment to help improve awareness of terrain, obstacles and runways in low visibility conditions. With this technology, pilots can now have key information at their fingertips, enabling them to make informed decisions during every phase of flight. This processor provides rapid and accurate visualization of data and access to information which are essential for the aerospace and defense industries.
