System Architecture

SkyVis™ / SkyVis NVG HMD

The SkyVis Helmet-Mounted Display (HMD) offers the latest in commercially certifiable Line-Of-Sight (LOS) technology. It includes day, night and Night Vision Goggle (NVG) capabilities with enhanced safety for ‘round-the-clock’ mission support for SAR, EMS, parapublic, offshore, and day-to-day utility operators. The system enables “eyes out” operation during all phases of flight and an unparalleled view of the outside world with aircraft, mission, terrain, flight, obstacle, and navigation data.

SkyVis uses a helmet-mounted, monochrome, monocular display, which augments the operator’s vision with HUD symbology, as well as optional SVS, EVS-4000, or CVS imagery. The display module does not require helmet modification and mounts directly to existing NVG mounting hardware. The SkyVis NVG option also mounts to the helmet’s existing mounting hardware and provides NVG compatible display symbology.

SkyVis and SkyVis NVG displays are adjustable to accommodate multiple Inter Pupil Distances (IPD) and are compatible with prescription eyeglasses.

• Synthetic and sensor images with flight symbology
• Conformal imagery and intuitive symbology
• Increased safety in conditions where natural vision is impaired
• Customizable solution
• NVG option

SkyLens™ HWD

SkyLens is a revolutionary Head-Wearable Display (HWD), ideal for anyone seeking an easy-to-install, retrofittable, and flexible HUD solution. High-resolution symbology, SVS, and EVS are presented on a high-transparency visor. The easy-to-wear device provides superior see-through transmission for corporate transport operations 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 panoramic SVS imagery for unprecedented situational awareness. In addition, the pilot is not constrained to sitting in a specific position as is necessary with a traditional HUD.

SkyLens uses a head-harnessed, monochrome, visor display, augmenting the operator’s vision with HUD symbology, as well as optional SVS, EVS-4000, or CVS imagery. SkyLens’ design allows operators to wear prescription eyeglasses and to use a standard aviation headset.

• High-resolution symbology and computer flight guidance
• “Real World” view of terrain and obstacles
• Enhanced safety with “see and avoid” in limited visibility
• Clear and tinted visor options
• Improved visibility for helipads

EVS-4000 Multispectral Camera

The EVS-4000 ClearVision Enhanced Vision System provides a superior visual solution augmented with real-time synthetic information, designed to expand the safety and operational capabilities of your HMD / HWD system. With its advanced real-time visual processing, EVS-4000 merges the input of high definition visual cameras, with sophisticated fusion algorithms and a range of bands including visible light and Near Infrared (NIR). The result is a superior visual solution, expanding your situational awareness in any weather condition like never before.

EVS-4000 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.
