keeps evolving to keep
aircraft safe in the skies.

ead-Up Displays (HUD) are
an increasingly popular avionics
option for all grades
of
aircraft. The safety
benefits HUDs provide for
pilots makes them worth
the investment.
There are a variety of different
HUD options on the market and
understanding the technology at
hand affords maintenance shops the know-how
to address issues if they arise.
Elbit Systems' ISTAR division designs, develops
and manufactures a diverse range of high-performance
HUDs and HUD upgrades for fighter jet
cockpits, cargo transporters, commercial commuters
and private business jets.
Nick Olivastri, senior director of business
development for Elbit Systems, said the company's
HUDs feature advanced technologies
offering capabilities such as high-resolution display,
enhanced video capabilities and low power
consumption. More than 7,500 of Elbit Systems'
HUD systems are operational today on dozens
of different platforms.
One big trend is the growth
of HUDs to include Enhanced
Flight Vision System (EFVS)
technology.
" Elbit Systems has a number of unique HUD
products offered as part of a system solution and
are readily integrated with cutting-edge sensors
such as an Enhanced Vision System (EVS),
Synthetic Vision System (SVS) and Combined
Vision System (CVS), allowing increased situational
awareness and increased safety for the
pilot, " he said.
The company recently introduced the
SKYLENS wearable HUD for enhanced flight
vision system (EFVS) applications by commercial
aircraft pilots flying anywhere in the world.
Packed in a lightweight device similar to a pair
of sunglasses, SKYLENS is suitable for aircraft
flight operations in daylight, at night and in bad
weather. Pilots wearing SKYLENS can take off
and land in low-visibility conditions and in locations
that non EVS-equipped aircraft could not
access previously.
