Civil and military aviation operators in the fixed-wing, rotorcraft, unmanned autonomous vehicle (UAV), and remotely piloted vehicle (RPV) communities face diverse operational challenges. Synthetic Vision is emerging as a key enabling technology to meet these needs.

Challenges for Aviation Operators

• Safety and survivability
• Low-visibility and night operations
• Controlled Flight Into Terrain (CFIT) accidents - a leading cause of airline fatalities
• The need for situational awareness of traffic and other threats
• Operations in future airspace with 4D and curved-path navigation
• Situational awareness for operators of UAVs and RPVs
• High flight crew training costs
• Systems integration with existing avionics and sensors to reduce costs

Benefits of Synthetic Vision for Aviation

• Realtime 3D terrain visualization
• Depiction of traffic, obstacles, runways, weather, and more
• Highway-in-the-Sky (HITS) display of approach, departure, and enroute flight paths, proven effective by years of flight testing
• Terrain following/terrain avoidance (TF/TA) capability
• Approach and mission rehearsal and preview
• Flight debrief and replay
• Dramatically reduced need for initial and recurrent training
• Reduced workload and increased safety
• UAV and RPV control stations for today’s Network-Centric environment
