Tucson, Ariz., - (NYSE: CGT; TSX: CAE) - Terrain Experts, Inc., a company owned by CAE, today announced the release of A-Terrain ExtremeTM, an commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) software tool that is designed to make building 3D databases much easier and more affordable.

TERREX has embedded advanced artificial intelligence software into A-Terrain Extreme to make creating, modifying, and visualizing three-dimensional source data as simple and accurate as possible. A new user interface that is easy-to-use and intuitive gives users who are not expert 3D database designers the ability to create accurate, feature-rich 3D databases. The ease-of-use and affordable cost make A-Terrain Extreme the ideal 3D database software tool for intelligence visualization, geographical information system (GIS) visualization, and game development.

"TERREX already offers the industry's leading high-performance database generation software in the Terra Vista product line, and Terra Vista will still be required for the most demanding database generation requirements," said Norman Miller, President, Terrain Experts, Inc. "What we are now offering with A-Terrain Extreme is an affordable software tool designed for the broader market to incorporate 3D content into their databases."

A-Terrain Extreme from TERREX is available now at a list price of US$5,000 per copy.
