ClearVision EVS System Successful In Ground Trials Of Volcanic Ash Detection

The System Is Designed To Detect Volcanic Ash Up To A 100 Kilometer Range, Allowing Sufficient Time To Avoid The Affected Area

Elbit Systems and Nicarnica Aviation achieved a significant milestone by successfully performing ground trials, demonstrating detection of volcanic ash using the ClearVision EVS system. The Enhanced Vision System (EVS), that was modified to incorporate ash detection capability, is one of a kind in the market.

During the conducted trials, the system demonstrated unprecedented  volcanic ash detection capability. The trial findings verify that the final product will achieve a successful detection at a range of 100 kilometers in sufficient time to allow pilots to avoid the no-fly zone affected by the presence of volcanic ash. The groundbreaking modified design was funded by the Eurostars™ program. 
 
Elbit Systems and Nicarnica’s technologies enhance operational efficiency, reduce maintenance costs and prevent delays in the flight schedules of commercial airlines caused by adverse ambient flight conditions.
