Foster Flight Intro's 'Paravise, Head-0n' Collision Avoidance Device

The "Paravize, Head-on" is a portable, self-contained, camera driven, collision avoidance device intended to be placed on top of the glare-shield of a GA aircraft to assist the pilot in spotting potentially dangerous traffic.

The "Head-on" utilizes three high-resolution cameras with a high-speed processor to "see" traffic and possible threats overlooked by the pilot. The cameras provide 120 degrees of horizontal coverage and 10 degrees vertical coverage in the direction of flight. When the "Head-on" detects a threat, an alert buzzer augments the flashing 4,000-pixel LCD display, then images displayed on the backlight screen direct the pilot where to look precisely, within one degree up/down and left/right to take corrective action. The portable unit has no connection to the aircraft therefore no STC is required.

Company officials claim that the "Head-On" is very simple to operate, just place the unit level on the glare-shield in cruise flight. A full charge by the included 120VAC or 12/24VDC chargers on the lithium polymer smart battery will operate the unit for 12+ hrs. The "Head-on" can be fully recharged in 6 hours from any state of discharge. The unit has a USB jack and comes with a cable & driver to enable free lifetime software upgrades through the company's website. A 30-day money back guarantee is provided by the company as well as a two-year product warranty.

"We expect the value-priced "Head-on" to rapidly become the pilots choice for affordable collision avoidance assistance in the cockpit," said Marketing Director Ken Godin. "Our product is not only portable and self contained, it doesn't rely on radar service or transponders to be effective".
