CMC Electronics launches its third-generation enhanced flight vision system

CMC Electronics is launching a new, third-generation member of its SureSight® family of I-Series™ integrated sensor systems for Enhanced Flight Vision System (EFVS) applications. The CMA-2700 will feature next-generation digital signal processing, a high-resolution 640 x 512 pixel Focal Plane Array, and will be certified to the highest level yet for an integrated sensor system: Level B certification to DO-178B and DO-254. The SureSight CMA-2700 has been selected by Rockwell Collins for use on the recently launched Bombardier Global Vision* flight deck, a new and key feature on the high-speed Global 5000* and ultra long-range Global Express XRS* business jets.

Jean-Pierre Mortreux, President and CEO, CMC Electronics, "CMC is building on its leadership in integrated sensor systems for EFVS applications by introducing a third-generation sensor that features the highest resolution Focal Plane Array in the industry. We are very excited to be working with Bombardier and Rockwell Collins on the new Global Vision flight deck and supplying an integrated sensor system for the Bombardier Enhanced Vision System (BEVS) that is designed to achieve the next level in video performance."

CMC's SureSight CMA-2600 integrated sensor system is currently used by Thales/Bombardier on the Global Express* aircraft platform and by Rockwell Collins on the Dassault F2000 EASy seriesbusiness aircraft. At NBAA 2007, CMC announced the launch of its new CMA-2600i integrated sensor system - an improved version of its certified, second-generation CMA-2600 sensor. The improved CMA-2600i offers enhancements in image processing within the existing hardware as well as improvements in optics and wave band filtering. The CMA-2600i integrated sensor system has been selected by Rockwell Collins for use on the recently launched BEVS program for the new widebody Challenger 605* jet.
