Sikorsky Asks Honeywell to Develop SVS for Black Hawk Helicopters Honeywell will develop a SVS (synthetic vision system) for Sikorsky Aircraft's Black Hawk helicopter to help its pilots land in so-called brownout conditions, caused by blowing sand. The work will be part of the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency's Sandblaster program. To accomplish its task of designing and demonstrating a SVS for the Black Hawk that enhances pilot situational awareness and reduces the workload, Honeywell says it intends to integrate radar-based sensor information with terrain and obstacle data to provide a three-dimensional view of the landing environment on a primary flight display. The synthetic image will be overlaid with flight guidance cues as well as symbology indicating current and predicted flight conditions, according to Honeywell officials. 06-23-2007. |
