Rockwell Collins has introduced its new highest fidelity enhanced vision system (EVS) for the commercial aviation industry.
The new system, EVS-3000, is available on head-up and head-down displays, and comprises a multi-spectral EVS sensor that helps in accurate detection of outside terrain, hazards and obstacles during low-visibility conditions.
The EVS-3000 system also provides an ability to fully detect LED lighting that is increasingly used as a runway lighting system by airports.
Rockwell Collins head-up guidance systems senior director Craig Olson said that the company is providing accuracy in sensing what is ahead during critical phases of flight.
"Operators will experience enhanced reliability and lower cost of ownership from our lower-weight, more energy-efficient EVS solution," Olson said.
According to Rockwell Collins, the new EVS system works without a traditional built-in cooling system, a feature that significantly reduces weight, lowers aircraft power consumption as well as enhances system performance longevity.
