Universal Avionics Establishes Repair Capability for Enhanced Vision Cameras

Universal Avionics, an Elbit Systems company has established repair capabilities for ClearVision™ EVS-5000 in its Tucson, AZ Part 145 Repair Station. This addition of multispectral enhanced vision cameras to the UA Repair Station capability list has enhanced the global support for the EVS-5000.

ClearVision EVS will provide visuals with real-time synthetic information to improve flight safety and operational capabilities. EVS merges six sensors ranging from visible light to longwave. High-definition cameras combine these views into a single combined image. These features take advantage of complete situational awareness in all weather conditions day and night, during take-off, approach and landing phases.

“ClearVision EVS-5000 is one of the most sophisticated electrical optical systems for commercial aviation of its time,” VP of Operations at Universal Avionics, Steve Pagnucco said. “Successful implementation of repair services paves the way to additional high-end technology work in our Tucson facilities. This project has showcased Universal Avionics’ ability to develop optical test equipment and transition complex technologies across a global corporation.”

The complete ClearVision Enhanced Flight Vision System (EFVS) combines EVS with synthetic 3D terrain display to empower head-up flight operations using SkyLens™ and SkyVis™ head-wearable displays. It has a large field of view and a bright and high-resolution HUD for commercial aircraft.

The system is designed to increase platform efficiency and safety, with the latest visual processing technology, meeting all FAA/EASA EVS or EFVS civil certification requirements. Repair for the EVS-5000 system is expected to begin by the end of 2022.
