System To Provide Better Weather Imaging
CMC Electronics Inc. announces that
its SureSight I-series Enhanced Vision System infrared (EVS-IR)
sensor was certified by Transport Canada in late December 2004. The
CMC EVS sensor received the Transport Canada Appliance Type
Certificate AP-55.
According to CMC's Bruce Bailey, Vice President, Commercial
Aviation, "Our SureSight l-series EVS sensor provides outstanding
image quality and weather penetration, and will allow operators to
take advantage of the new FAA regulations provided for enhanced
landing capabilities as well as enhanced safety. This sensor is
aimed at the high-end corporate/business jet, air transport and
military markets for use with a HUD, a Head Down Display (HDD) or
both.
The CMC Electronics SureSight l-series EVS sensor has been
selected for the Bombardier Enhanced Vision System for installation
on the new ultra long-range Global Express XRS, and as an option on
the Global Express and Global 5000. Certification by
Transport Canada and the US Federal Aviation Administration of the
Bombardier Enhanced Vision System is anticipated to be received in
the first quarter of 2005. The sensor will be integrated with the
Thales HUD as part of the Bombardier EVS.
The CMC EVS sensor was also recently selected by Rockwell
Collins for the Boeing Business Jets' and the Dassault Falcon
business jet fleet's Enhanced Vision System. CMC's EVS sensor will
be integrated with the Rockwell Collins Flight Dynamics'
HGS-4860/5860 Head-Up Guidance System and offered to all future
Dassault Falcon 2000EX, 900EX, 900DX and 7X operators. CMC will
provide its EVS sensor to Rockwell Collins for all current and
future BBJs and next-generation B737 aircraft.
