Collins' CVS solution provides pilots with the best possible view by truly blending the real-time thermal imagery of our enhanced vision system (EVS) with our weather independent synthetic vision system (SVS) in a single view for advanced situational awareness. Our blended CVS solution takes the SVS and seamlessly overlays it with the EVS image, requiring no pilot adjustment for optimal display – reducing your workload through eyes up and out operation and sharpening your approach.

Our SVS lets pilots operate like it’s a clear day, every day. The weather independent, high-definition image displays on HUDs with unmatched fidelity and resolution, using three layers of information - terrain, obstacle and airports and runways - to provide a complete picture of the environment.

Machinevision

Collins Aerospace gives commercial aircraft pilots the most powerful tools to increase vision and situational awareness under any conditions. Our Vision Systems provide unprecedented detail in real time on Head-up Displays (HUD) to make takeoff and landing safer, more efficient and more cost-effective.

The EVS-3600 cuts right through low-visibility conditions like smoke, smog, fog and darkness by displaying high-clarity visual references on HUDs, allowing pilots to see what’s out there faster than ever before. This unprecedented spectral coverage during critical phases of flight gives aircraft the ability to go more places more safely.

EVS equipped aircraft are eligible for lower operating minima, using existing approaches and airport infrastructure, increasing the runways where EVS-3600 equipped aircraft can safely land
