Lockheed to Unveil Prepar3D Simulation and Training Software

Lockheed Martin announced today that the the newest version of Prepar3D, its flagship simulation and training software, will be released this July.

Prepar3D is a visual simulation platform that allows users to create training scenarios across aviation, maritime and ground domains. It has been used for a wide range of learning scenarios including vehicle procedures training, cockpit familiarization, flight planning, air traffic controller training and emergency response preparation in the commercial, academic, professional and military instruction environments.

Prepar3D supports everything from visualizing missile trajectories to simulating wildfire response efforts.

Lighting and shadows in the latest Prepar3D version are more realistic. It also has a streamlined update process, which is expected to result in significant time and bandwidth savings.

The system also focuses on airports, including higher detail lighting models, surfaces and objects, in response to user feedback.
