ENHANCED VISION SYSTEMS

EFVS
ENHANCED FLIGHT VISION SYSTEM

ElbitAmerica_EFVS_10_21_21

We can help keep you and your cargo safe. When unpredictable weather hits, our Enhanced Flight Vision System (EFVS) provides the Situational Awareness to cut through fog and other degraded environments so your crew can see clearly and complete their critical missions.

Our Combined Vision System (CVS) combines both Enhanced Vision System (EVS) and Synthetic Vision System (SVS), providing a high-fidelity view of the outside world even when actual visibility is close to zero. It enables the operator to see the runway lights better in conditions impairing the visibility of unaided approach. This improves the pilots' ability to execute precision and non-precision approaches and safely land, reducing the risks of Controlled Flight Into Terrain (CFIT) accidents.

Currently, Elbit Systems of America (Kollsman) has the only Enhanced Vision System (EVS) camera currently used by the U.S. government.

EFVS SOLUTION:
• EVS-5000 or EVS-4000 or EVS-SP
• Computer Unit
• Digital HUD (SKYLENS, Cockpit Multi-Function Display, or our Large Area Display)

EVS SOLUTION:
• Legacy EVS (EVS I & EVS II)
• EVS-4000
• EVS-5000 (Clearvision™)
• EVS SP

TACTICAL VIDEO DATA LINK

TVDL
VIDEO & DATA RECEIVER/TRANSMITTER SYSTEM

TVDL - Video & Data Receiver/Transmitter System

Tactical Video Data Link (TVDL) is a video and data receiver/transmitter system specially designed for attack helicopters. This compact and lightweight system, weighing less than 4 kg, enables real-time, high-quality video imagery and data captured by UAV payloads or ground-based sensors to be displayed directly to the aircrew. This saves the need for lengthy radio dialogue by creating a common visual language amongst all forces in the battlespace and dramatically shortening the sensor-to-shooter loop. As a true video relay, the system can simultaneously transmit video and data as well as deliver imagery captured by onboard payloads to tactical forces for enhanced coordination and battle management.
