The Federal Aviation Administration has certified the Rockwell Collins enhanced vision system (EVS) on a Boeing Business Jet (BBJ) and an Air National Guard C-40.
The EVS increases situational awareness for pilots during approach, landing, taxi and take-off with an image of the external environment on the head-up guidance system (HGS) and head-down displays.

The system uses an infrared sensor to improve the view of the runway in various conditions, including bad weather, whilst enabling pilots to avoid terrain and clearly identify the runway early in the approach.
It also assists pilots with black hole approaches to airports not equipped with precision landing aids and with landing and manoeuvring at unfamiliar airports.
The airplanes will require an upgrade to the HGS 4000, a modified radome, and the infrared camera for the installation of the EVS.
