CMA-2700 To Be Used In Bombardier's Global Vision Flight
Deck
CMC Electronics announced at NBAA 2007 Monday the launch of its
new, third-generation member of its SureSight family of I-Series
integrated sensor systems for Enhanced Flight Vision System (EFVS)
applications, as well as an update to its previous
second-generation system.
CMC tells ANN the new CMA-2700 will feature next-generation
digital signal processing, a high-resolution 640 x 512 pixel Focal
Plane Array, and will be certified to the highest level yet for an
integrated sensor system: Level B certification to DO-178B and
DO-254.
The SureSight CMA-2700 has been selected by Rockwell Collins for
use on the recently launched Bombardier Global Vision flight
deck, a new and key feature on the high-speed Global
5000 and ultra long-range Global Express XRS business jets.
"CMC is building on its leadership in integrated sensor systems
for EFVS applications by introducing a third-generation sensor that
features the highest resolution Focal Plane Array in the industry,"
said CMC Electronics president and CEO Jean-Pierre Mortreux. "We
are very excited to be working with Bombardier and Rockwell Collins
on the new Global Vision flight deck and supplying an integrated
sensor system for the Bombardier Enhanced Vision System (BEVS) that
is designed to achieve the next level in video performance."
Also Monday, CMC announced the launch of its new CMA-2600i
integrated sensor system -- an improved version of its certified,
second-generation CMA-2600 sensor. The improved CMA-2600i offers
enhancements in image processing within the existing hardware as
well as improvements in optics and wave band filtering.
The CMA-2600i integrated sensor system has been selected by
Rockwell Collins for use on the recently launched BEVS program for
the new widebody Challenger 605 jet.
"We are delighted to be working with
Bombardier and Rockwell Collins on the Challenger 605 jet,"
Mortreux said. "This selection builds on the superior in-service
performance of our currently certified CMA-2600 sensor and
represents the fifth OEM platform for our SureSight I-Series
integrated sensor systems."
CMC's SureSight CMA-2600 integrated sensor system is currently
used by Thales/Bombardier on the Global Express platform and by
Rockwell Collins on the Dassault F2000 EASy series business
aircraft.
