The following will be on display at the Elbit Systems of America booth:

Kollsman ® GAViSTM

General Aviation Vision System (GAViSTM) is an uncooled infrared sensor that provides a real time video image of the aircraft’s forward environment. This video image is presented on a head down display and provides improved situation awareness at night and in low visibility conditions. GAViSTM is the ideal choice for smaller aircraft, where there is limited space available for installation. Its compact size (3 inches high, 6 inches wide and 11.5 inches long) allows for flexible installation options. Installation of the GAViSTM sensor is simple due to its hermetically sealed, aerodynamic housing which is designed for exterior mounting. In designing the GAViSTM, Elbit Systems of America has leveraged the same key technology that was developed for the award winning Enhanced Vision System (EVS II) used in Gulfstream aircraft. GAViSTM is certified on the S-76 by Pro Star Aviation.

Kollsman ® EVS II

The second generation Enhanced Vision System (EVS II) is the highest performing infrared system on the market today, as evidenced by the Federal Aviation Administration’s approval to allow equipped aircraft to take advantage of several operational credits, such as the ability proceed below the normal decision height if the runway is seen through the EVS imagery. Already certified on eight different aircraft types and qualified to rotorcraft vibration levels, EVS II enables all weather operations, and allows pilots to accomplish the mission, increase market share, and save costly delays. The system dramatically increases situational awareness at night and during low-visibility daylight conditions by allowing pilots to see terrain, runways, taxiways and approaches that are undetectable by unaided sight. EVS II can be installed in both fixed wing and rotary wing aircraft.

ORIA TM

Advanced, integrated Flight and Mission Display System offers enhanced flight safety and mission efficiency. ORIA TM is designed for commercial, military transport and special mission aircraft. The system incorporates a Primary Flight Display, Navigation Display, Engine Indicating and Crew Alerting System, Digital Map, Electronic Flight Bag and more.
