Enhanced Vision System (EVS)

Superb Technology Certified to Deliver Top Safety

The ClearVision^™ Enhanced Vision System (EVS) product family provides a superior visual solution augmented with real-time synthetic information, designed to expand the safety and operational capabilities of your Head-Up Display (HUD) system. With its advanced real-time visual processing, EVS merges the input of high-definition visual cameras, Near IR sensor, and Long-Wave IR sensor into one perfectly fused picture, expanding your situational awareness like never before. This 4th generation high-resolution, uncooled multispectral EVS detects incandescent and LED runway lights with provisions to support color display. With its brighter and clearer image, ClearVision EVS will make any taxi, takeoff, cruise, or landing easier, clearer, and safer.

EVS-5000

The top-of-the-line EVS-5000 multispectral camera provides a complete gate-to-gate experience, covering the full flight envelope. The complement of six sensors - from visible light to longwave infrared (IR) - allows the pilot to overcome extreme weather conditions and low visibility situations, day and night.

EVS-4000

The compact EVS-4000 multispectral EVS camera features two sensors, visible-Near IR and Long-wave IR, which provides an excellent EVS solution for smaller fixed wing aircraft and rotorcraft.

Flexibility

The EVS interfaces with a variety of display options: traditional fixed HUD system, head-down flight display systems; or a wearable device like the 'near-to-eye' (NTE) SkyLens™ wearable display.

Efficiency & Safety

ClearVision EVS is designed to increase platform efficiency and safety, with the latest visual processing technology, meeting all FAA/EASA/ICAO/CAAC EVS or EFVS civil certification requirements.

Features

• Multispectral technology for improved imaging details
• High-resolution, high-contrast
• Terrain awareness video
• LED and incandescent runway light detection in low visibility

Benefits

• Minimized dependency on ILS
• Equivalent visual operations
• Unprecedented situational awareness in all weather conditions, day and night, during take-off, approach, and landing phases

Synthetic Vision System (SVS)

Terrain and Obstacle Images

The ClearVision^™ Synthetic Vision System (SVS) provides synthetic 3D images generated from a database of runways, obstacles, terrain, and flight plan information. Ready to be displayed on-time and on-need, the SVS offers enhanced terrain awareness throughout the flight operation.

• Extended centerline symbology
• Threshold markings
• Worldwide airport database
• Accurate visualization

Combined Vision System (CVS)

EVS + SVS

ClearVision's Combined Vision System is a unique and optimized solution for commercial aviation. Setting a new standard, the CVS combines both Enhanced Vision System (EVS) and Synthetic Vision System (SVS), providing a high-fidelity view of the outside world even when actual visibility is close to zero. It enables the operator to see the runway lights better in conditions impairing the visibility of unaided approach. This improves the pilots' ability to execute precision and non-precision approaches and safely land, reducing the risks of Controlled Flight Into Terrain (CFIT) accidents.

Clearly divided into upper and lower windows, pilots can adjust the split between SVS on the top and EVS on the bottom to obtain the most useful imagery as weather and visibility conditions change. SVS and EVS image brightness are individually adjustable as well as EVS contrast and overall Head-Up Display (HUD) brightness. A CVD on/off button quickly clears the HUD of anything that might distract from the view out the windshield.

• 3D perspective view of topography
• Video mixed with thermal and camera imaging
• Constant daytime view of flight path
• Intuitive situational awareness cues

Overhead-Mounted Head-Up Display (HUD)

The ClearVision^™ Head-Up Display (HUD) is an electro-optic device presenting aircraft data over a transparent glass (combiner), located in front of the operator. The presented data collimates to infinity, enabling the pilot to operate the aircraft using out-of-the-window views during critical phases of flight. With eyes focused in front of the aircraft and viewing the aircraft flight path vector, attitude, visual glideslope, and runway aim point on the HUD, operators can achieve greater precision and situational awareness, increasing safety. In addition, the HUD can present external video such as Enhanced Vision System (EVS) video and support the benefit of lower landing minima.

• Wide and tall Field Of View (FOV)
• Bright and high-resolution
• Flight guidance symbology and runway highlighting
• Precision guidance for take-off and landing
• Flight path vector, speed deviation, and acceleration cues
• Remove non-essential content during low workload phases of flight

SkyLens^™ Wearable HUD

Retrofit 'Near-to-Eye' Display

SkyLens is a revolutionary Head-Wearable Display (HWD), ideal for smaller cockpits or anyone seeking an easy-to-install, retrofittable, and flexible Head-Up Display (HUD) solution. High-resolution symbology, Synthetic Vision System (SVS), and Enhanced Vision System (EVS) are presented on a high-transparency visor, as intuitive as wearing a pair of sunglasses. The easy-to-wear device provides superior see-through transmission in all weather conditions, day and night, and unlimited field of view. The wide-viewing angle allows the pilot to look 180 degrees to the left or right to view SVS imagery for unprecedented visibility. In addition, the pilot is not constrained to sitting in a specific position as is necessary with a traditional HUD.

• Lower cost / minimally invasive install
• Retrofit into many types of cockpits
• Space-efficient
• Allows pilot movement without losing field of view like a traditional HUD
• Lightweight and comfortable
