Prague, Czech Republic (ITEC Booth 4A-105) – April 28, 2015 – HAVELSAN, Inc., a prominent
global software and systems provider based in Ankara, Turkey, has announced that it is in the
process of acquiring the flight simulation business assets of Quantum3D, Inc., a leading developer
of visual computing solutions for government and commercial applications. When the transaction
completes, HAVELSAN’s U.S.-based subsidiary will retain the intellectual property and product
lines of Quantum3D, and will have offices in San Jose, CA and Orlando, FL.
Existing Quantum3D products, including the award-winning Mantis® software for real-time visual
simulation, Independence® IDX Series Image Generators, and the GeoScapeSE® line of WorldWide
visual database products, will continue to be sold under the Quantum3D brand name as
before. Moreover, the resulting U.S.-based entity will continue to do business using the
Quantum3D name, and will be staffed primarily with existing, experienced Quantum3D employees.
Based on modern GPU shader programming technology and with its vast array of plug-ins for
special effects, Mantis is well suited to exploit the new levels of hardware power within modern PC
platforms. And when packaged with the GeoScapeSE World-Wide Database and the new
Independence IDX 8000 Image Generator, Quantum3D provides an out-of-the-box visual solution
that’s ready to fly to thousands of airports, cities, and other destinations around the globe – which
forms a perfect complement to HAVELSAN’s larger system-level simulation and training solutions.
“Our simulation and training business has the potential for significant growth, and Quantum3D’s
products are well known for realism and high performance. We believe that combining our
strategies with Quantum3D products will create many new opportunities and allow us to develop
Mantis to be the most innovative solution in the market”, said Mr. Sadik YAMAC, General
Manager/CEO of HAVELSAN. “With these assets from Quantum3D we will not only enhance our
core product capabilities worldwide, but will also better serve the large U.S. domestic and other
North/South/Central Americas markets for complete training solutions.” Mr. Yuksel OZTEKIN,
Chairman of the Board of HAVELSAN, further noted “This is indeed a strategic move for
HAVELSAN to enter into the US Market and develop a high end technology with Quantum3D.”
“Quantum3D is a leader in Image Generator solutions, with 1000’s of channels in use worldwide”,
said Pratish Shah, president, Quantum3D. “Merging our IG solutions and database capabilities
with HAVELSAN will accelerate the development and enhancement of our already leading class
solutions and enable us to provide greater support, service and new products to our customers.”
The acquisition is anticipated to close before the end of 2015, conditional upon receiving regulatory
approvals.
