In celebration of the F-35 making its international debut, the Rockwell Collins ESA Vision Systems F-35 LIGHTNING II Helmet Mounted Display System (HMDS) is in the spotlight at the Rockwell Collins booth.

The F-35 HMDS provides pilots with situational awareness. All the information that pilots need to complete their missions – through all weather, day or night – is projected on the helmet’s visor. In addition, real-time imagery streamed from six infrared (IR) cameras mounted around the aircraft to the helmet, allows pilots to “look through” the airframe.

At Farnborough, Rockwell Collins is be demonstrating the company’s MultiScan ThreatTrack Weather Radar, EVS-3000 Enhanced Vision System and HeliSure product line for helicopters, all new offerings introduced this past year.

Rockwell Collins MultiScan ThreatTrack features great capabilities for assessing lightning and hail threats, uses Predictive OverFlight to identify significant turbulence threats above rapidly growing thunderstorms, and is one of the first radars in the industry to feature two levels of turbulence detection. Rockwell Collins demonstrates the system at Farnborough, and also plans to announce the newest airline customers to select MultiScan ThreatTrack.

The EVS-3000, set to debut on the Embraer LEGACY 450 and LEGACY 500 aircraft, is the latest in enhanced vision systems. Its multispectral technology sees through the worst conditions and can even detect LED runway lighting. An example of the new technology is on display, as well as tutorials that explain the virtues of the system.

Rockwell Collins also demonstrates the capabilities of its HeliSure flight situational awareness product suite for rotary wing aircraft. HeliSure delivers sensor data in real time through an intuitive user interface that features 3D visualisation for information that pilots can easily, quickly and effectively process. The first two products of the HeliSure family are Helicopter Synthetic Vision System (H-SVS) and Helicopter Terrain Awareness and Warning System (H-TAWS), which have been selected by AgustaWestland for the AW149, AW189, AW101 and AW169 platforms.

Also making a comeback at this year’s Farnborough Air Show is the company’s proven Pro Line Fusion integrated avionics system for commercial and military aircraft. The system integrates and displays essential flight information through graphically rich interfaces, including high-integrity head-up guidance featuring synthetic and enhanced vision and the industry’s first touch-screen flight displays.
