Commercial cockpit solutions Optimal for Military Platform Upgrades:
InSight™ Cockpit Display System is UA’s latest primary flight display system, offering embedded SVS and presentation of map data such as flight plan, Navigational Aids (NAVAID), airports, airways, controlled airspace, charts, terrain, traffic, weather, and lightning depiction. In addition, engine data, video data, and waypoint search are also presented along with a “status bar” the pilot monitors for phase of flight and performance. InSight is available in either a 3 or 4 screen primary flight display configuration customized according to the customer’s requirements and needs.
Digital Head-Up Display (HUD) is an electro-optic device that presents aircraft data over a transparent glass (combiner), located in front of the pilot. The displayed data is collimated to infinity, enabling the pilot to operate the aircraft using out-the-window view during critical phases of flight. With eyes focused out in front of the aircraft viewing the HUD, the aircraft flight path vector, aircraft attitude, visual glideslope angle and the runway aim point, pilots can achieve greater precision and situational awareness at all times while increasing safety. In addition, our modern HUDs can present external video such as EVS video.
ClearVision EVS is an enhanced vision system allowing pilots to carry on operating, and landing in low visibility conditions. ClearVision receives information from several sensors, all neatly packed into a single unit, covering diverse spectral bands, optimized for penetrating poor visibility and providing a fused picture that overcomes the reliance on heat generating objects.
HeliEVS is based on the certified ClearVision EVS for fixed-wing platforms. The system is packaged in a single Line Replaceable Unit (LRU), installed outside of the helicopter. The high quality imagery in low visibility conditions is accomplished through real-time image fusion between sensors at multiple spectral bands. The system is installed on various helicopters, among those all of Leonardo Helicopters’ commercial aircraft.
Skylens is the ideal Wearable Head Up Display solution packed in a lightweight, easy-to-install device, as intuitive as a pair of sunglasses. Operating in low visibility conditions, day and night, Skylens provides head-up information and minimizes dependency on ground infrastructure, such as navigational aids and airport lighting.
SkyVis provides helicopter pilots with a conformal “head up” view, displaying flight, vehicle and navigation symbology for day, night and NVG operation in limited weather conditions. An add-on to the pilot’s own helmet, SkyVis is easily integrated with minimal footprint in the cockpit.
Airborne Self-Protection
The MUSIC™ family of Direct Infrared Counter Measures (DIRCM) is a live-fire tested line of systems, providing protection against shoulder launched air to surface missiles for dozens of military and commercial platforms in fifteen countries. The MUSIC family of systems has accumulated 100,000 operational flight hours already and is available in three different configurations:
C-MUSIC™ is designed for the protection of civil and VIP large jets and meets the requirements of both commercial certification and protection of large aircraft.
J-MUSIC protects large aircraft (heavy transporters, tankers, VIP jets etc). The system can be easily integrated on any type of aircraft, in a single or dual turret configuration. The system was recently awarded a follow-on contract to protect NATO’s fueling aircraft fleet.
Mini-MUSIC™ protects small and medium rotary and fixed wing aircraft. Mini-MUSIC can also be integrated with various Missile Warning Systems (MWS) for reliable and affordable protection.
A Unified Self-Protection Suite for Fighter Aircraft displayed at the show provides advanced multi-spectral self-protection jamming capabilities in a single LRU. The system delivers market leading Direction Finding (DF) accuracy, identification and location of received signals, very high Probability Of Intercept (POI), and enables swift response. The suite is operational and deployed onboard fighter aircraft in modern air forces around the globe.
All-in-Small™ is a small and lightweight integrated airborne EW Self-Protection suite in a single Line Replaceable Unit (LRU), comprised of an Electronic Warfare (EW) Controller, Digital Radar Warning Receiver, Infra-Red (IR) Missile Warning System (MWS), Advanced Laser Warning System and Chaff/Flare Dispensing System. The systems’ long-range detection capabilities, high DF accuracy and fast hand-over from IR MWS allow for an optimal integration with Directed Infrared Countermeasure (DIRCM) systems.
Light SPEAR™ is an Electronic Attack (EA) and self-protection system for Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS). The system allows easy integration with an array of transmitters and platforms, and its low Size, Weight and Power (SWaP) consumption makes it an ideal EW system for multiple operational platforms.
Solid State Phased Array Transmitter (SSPA) (presented in multimedia) is an Electronic Warfare (EW) transmitter suitable for various platforms including airborne, ground and naval platforms. The SSPA transmitter utilizes several active Solid State Transmit/Receive (T/R) modules to achieve high effective radiated power (ERP), as well as active electronically narrow beam width, steering to the required direction. The SSPA supports Direction Finding (DF) capability using the phased array antenna. The systems’ modularity affects the output ERP, spatial coverage and the frequency band.
