For years, military operations have used infrared (IR) technology to enhance mission effectiveness and pilot performance. In fact, key members of the Max-Viz team have been involved in the application of military infrared technology to perfect EVS, working on NASA, the Air Force and DARPA programs beginning in the 1980s.
 

Today, Max-Viz offers a new generation of Enhanced Visions Systems (EVS) that enables pilots to fly with greater confidence and safety under the most challenging visual conditions. EVS brings enhanced capability to all flights and missions, and it provides an easy upgrade to existing military fleets.

Using a proprietary combination of “uncooled” infrared sensors, signal processing and cockpit display monitors, Max-Viz EVS augments the flight crew’s view of unfamiliar terrain, runways, other aircraft, and potential obstacles that might otherwise be obscured.
 

Because Max-Viz does not rely on the bulky, mechanical cryogenic cooling system of first-generation EVS, it offers the world’s smallest, lightest system—one that is far more reliable and cost-effective than any other EVS on the market today.

Key Benefits:

• Meets military requirements for “operational readiness”
• Assists with “All-weather” operations
• Improves landing at degraded facilities—rough runways, poor locations, austere military airfields
• Helps with targeting—infrared imaging to support search and rescue, combat operations and target damage assessment
• Augments nighttime aerial refueling—can be performed without lights in combat situations
• Boosts reconnaissance aircraft performance —wide field of view offers greater mission support

EVS products for Military 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.
