Shine or Rain, Night and Day: Missions All for Visor One
The Visor Re-envisioned
Bright sunlight conditions pose various challenges in the cockpit. In addition to limiting pilots’ vision, extreme illumination may alter the visibility of Helmet Mounted Display symbology and video presentation. Existing solutions entail a dual visor operation, requiring a manual, in-flight visors change.
Elbit Systems’ Variable Transmittance Visor (VTV) is coated with an advanced photochromic layer that uses proprietary technology to dynamically limit the passage of light according to intensity. As the visor automatically adapts to the intensity of the light, a clear view of the cockpit, the outside world and the display is maintained at all times, allowing pilots to fly with a single adaptable visor for all light and weather conditions.

VTV leverages Elbit Systems’ unparalleled experience in the area of Head Mounted Displays, together with advanced nanotechnology capabilities, to create a unique, patented photochromic layer, tailored to the stringent requirements of the pilot visor.
V-DSF™ (Visible Dynamic Sunlight Filter) by Elbit Systems is a passive optical layer that remains transparent in normal light but darkens in strong light to reduce intensity. Unlike conventional photochromatic lenses, it responds to both UV and visible wavelengths, ensuring adaptability even behind UV-blocked canopies. It operates without electronics or human intervention, offering superior performance over existing technologies.
