Sensics Wins Extension for U.S. Navy Project
Sensics, Inc. and its partner, Direct Dimensions, each receive Phase II continuation funding for 3D visualization technology development
Baltimore, Md. -- July 5th , 2006 – The Maryland Technology Development Corporation (TEDCO), in collaboration with The Patuxent Partnership and the Naval Air Warfare Center – Aircraft Division (NAWCAD), announced today that Sensics, Inc. and Direct Dimensions, Inc. received follow-on Phase II funding from TEDCO's NAVAIR Technology Commercialization Initiative (NTCI).
The NTCI is a federal program that facilitates the transfer of advanced technology being developed by the private sector to meet the technology needs of the Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR). The NTCI program is a collaborative effort of TEDCO and the Patuxent Partnership, a Lexington Park, Md., strategic alliance of Southern Maryland aerospace and maritime technology industries, government laboratories, and academia. The NTCI program provides seed funding to companies developing technologies that meet the long-range needs of NAVAIR programs.
Sensics will continue Phase II development of its advanced panoramic visualization technology that allows analysis and exploration of 3D digital imagery from existing U.S. Navy aircraft. These high-accuracy/high-resolution 3D digital models, captured by Sensics’ partner Direct Dimensions, can then be used for a variety of purposes including virtual flight simulation, pilot ergonomic studies, maintenance planning, and for the re-engineering of aircraft modifications to extend the useful life of aging aircraft.
