Enhanced Vision Systems

Elbit Systems of America® (Elbit Systems of America®)

Elbit Systems of America’s Degraded Visual Environment (DVE) solution uses intuitive 3D grid symbology along with a helmet tracker to provide critical helicopter/tilt-rotor cues during brownout operations. This system, which is an upgrade to the head-up display installed on many military helicopters, removes weight or drag penalties by eliminating nose-mounted sensors. The helmet tracker provides numerous ancillary benefits such as depicting the other pilot’s Line of Sight (LOS) for improved crew coordination, as well as providing the ability to slew weapons or optical payloads to the pilot’s LOS, hands-free and heads-up.
