An increasing demand for and reliance on worldwide commercial air transport has created situations that pose significant threats to air safety:

• Highly congested airports
• Increased use of peripheral airports by low-cost/start-up airlines
• More flights into less sophisticated parts of the world where the infrastructure is poor, degraded or unexpected

These scenarios have become the primary focus of regulatory and safety agencies around the world. The top areas of concern:

• Runway Incursions (RI)
• Controlled Flight Into Terrain (CFIT)
• Approach and Landing Accidents

Max-Viz responds with unprecedented vision.

Using advanced infrared technology housed in the world’s smallest, lightest package, pilots can now see and more safely navigate in total darkness and during periods of inclement weather, environments that previously created challenging flying conditions and cancelled or delayed flights.

Max-Viz systems use “uncooled” infrared sensors to gather data about runways, terrain and any potential obstacles on the ground or in flight. These images are enhanced, relayed and displayed in real time on any head-down video-capable cockpit display and/or raster-capable head-up display (HUD).

In rain, snow, haze, smoke and nighttime flying, Max-Viz greatly improves pilots’ overall situational awareness. By allowing the flight crew to see what’s really out there, Max-Viz EVS reduces stress and adds a significant margin of safety.

Key Benefits

• Improves schedule reliability—increases on-time performance and customer satisfaction
• Reduces flight delays and cancellations—improves profitability
• Provides autonomous safety assurance—improves pilot confidence in areas of degraded or unreliable ground infrastructure
• Offers potential lower landing minima—in conjunction with HUD

EVS products for Commercial Transport:

EVS-1000—Uses uncooled long-wave infrared sensor technology to give pilots enhanced situational awareness during periods of reduced visibility.

EVS-2000—Our premium EVS, also using uncooled technology, merges short- and long-wave infrared data to provide optimum visibility and confidence.
