Aero-TV: Owning The Night... The Forward Vision Solution

EVS Is Here... and Changing The Vision of GA!

At the AOPA Expo 2008, it was obvious that 2009 was to be (in part) the year of EVS. A number of OEM and aftermarket deployments were shown and discussed and ANN's Aero-TV crews used the event as an opportunity to find out more about the Forward Vision offering... recently TSO'ed for retrofit installation in the Cirrus SR 20 and SR 22. 

Patrick Farrell, CEO of Forward Vision, joined with One Sky Aviation president at AOPA to announce the STC (#SA02329AK) award for installation of the EVS-100 infrared sensor on the Cirrus SR20 and SR22 aircraft.

"With this STC, we will cooperatively be able to provide an affordable (and STC certified) EVS system to the general aviation community that will bring an enhanced level of situational awareness and ultimately flight safety to the cockpit of Cirrus aftermarket aircraft," Farrell stated.

The companies had hoped to announce the STC much sooner, but weather delays preempted flight testing. Those tests were recently completed by the Anchorage ACO.

The Forward Vision EVS-100, powered by Max-Viz, is a low cost, non-cryogenically cooled Enhanced Vision System (EVS) for the OEM and retrofit markets. The sensor offers Long-Wave Infrared ( LWIR) sensing, is sunlight safe and has excellent resolution in a grey scale presentation format. The lightweight self-contained and ready to mount system is effectively operated both day and night and is designed to be upgradeable.

The Cirrus STC program is the first in a series of general aviation airframes that is under development for FAA approval. The EVS-100 is billed as a low cost, non-cryogenically cooled Enhanced Vision System for the OEM and aftermarket. The company says it offers the latest generation Long Wave Infra Red (LWIR) sensor that is sunlight safe, and has excellent grey scale to discern detail.

The price of the entire retrofit kit is $17,500 MSRP, including the sensor.
