Sensor Provides Four Times The Resolution Of Currently
Certified EVS Sensor Systems
Transport Canada has granted type certification to Esterline CMC
Electronics (CMC) for its third-generation SureSight Enhanced
Vision System (EVS) sensor, known as the CMA-2700, on November 18,
2011.
The CMA-2700 offers the highest resolution available for an EVS
sensor and four times the resolution of currently certified EVS
sensor systems, according to CMC. It features next-generation
digital image processing, including dynamic non-uniformity
corrections. This end-to-end digital system is also the first EVS
that is fully compliant to ARINC 818 Avionics Digital Video Bus
standards. Type Certification included compliance to DO-178B
(software) and DO-254 (firmware) to Design Assurance Level B, and
to DO-160F for environmental hardware qualification.
Greg Yeldon, President, Esterline CMC Electronics, said:
“With this award, our state-of-the-art EVS sensor has
demonstrated that it meets the most exacting EVS requirements. This
approval is the culmination of an exhaustive development program,
teaming CMC’s product with Rockwell Collins Head-up Guidance
System technology. We are very pleased with this success and the
on-going relationship with our customer, Rockwell Collins Head-up
Guidance Systems.”
CMC’s SureSight family of integrated sensor systems is
designed to meet demanding video performance, reliability and
quality standards, and is the leading choice for airframe
manufacturers and prime contractors. Its integrated sensor
systems offer enhanced situational awareness in adverse operating
conditions and enable operators to take advantage of regulations
expanding the operational capabilities of aircraft equipped with an
EVS.
