Dassault’s FalconEye Combined Vision System Achieves Certification
Key Takeaways:
- Dassault Aviation's FalconEye Combined Vision System has achieved EASA and FAA certification, initially for Falcon 2000S and LHX bizjets, with dual HUD approval for the 8X expected in 2018.
- FalconEye integrates synthetic, database-driven terrain mapping with thermal and low-light camera images, providing pilots with higher definition, wider angle views, and significantly improved situational awareness similar to military FLIR.
- The system was rigorously tested in low-visibility conditions and features a modular design, allowing for future enhancements like an Enhanced Vision System (EVS) function that will provide operational credits for bad weather approaches with 100-foot minimums.
