Enhanced Synthetic Vision Systems

Wednesday, March 6 | | 2:30 pm to 3:30 pm
Las Vegas Convention Center, North Hall, Room N253
Flight Operations Track

This presentation will familiarize the audience with a new safety enhancement that is coming to the helicopter world and to demonstrate the application of this technology in air medicine, firefighting, and law enforcement. Although we currently have night-vision devices and dashboard-mounted synthetic vision systems (SVS), this new version will add real-time sensors (the enhancement) to a helmet-mounted display. The resulting “view” will allow pilots to see through all types of obstacles in the degraded visual environment, including fog, snow, dust, and clouds.

Learning Objectives/Benefits

At the end of this presentation, the participant will be familiar with the new ESVS technology and its practical applications in air medicine, firefighting, and law enforcement
