Recent advances in VLSI (Very Large Scale Integration) logic have reduced the size and improved the performance of units for the Engineering Workstation and CAD/CAM market to the point where their performance is comparable to first generation Real Time Image Generation Systems. Within narrow confines, these units may be adapted to low-end training applications which require real-time imagery with moderate update and polygon requirements. This paper describes a turnkey dual processor image generation system with payload simulation capability which is packaged in a 10 slot Multibus chassis. The modular, systems oriented, design approach which yields a 10 board unit for field use is equally applicable to other low-end simulation/training system requirements.
