Universal Avionics establishes repair capability for Dassault FalconEye vision system

TUCSON, Ariz., -  Universal Avionics (UA), an Elbit Systems company has announced the addition of repair services for the Dassault FalconEye product line at its Tucson, Ariz.-based Part 145 Repair Station for the enhanced vision systems. As Dassault continues to ramp up production of its aircraft with FalconEye, North American customers will now have access to local and comprehensive support for these cutting-edge technologies.

The FalconEye Combined Vision System (CVS) uses synthetic, database-driven terrain mapping with multi-sensor camera inputs to provide pilots with enhanced situational awareness through its heads-up display. These technologies enable safer approaches during adverse weather conditions and terrain.

FalconEye’s synthetic video image uses three dedicated worldwide databases uploaded to the HUD computer. Terrain, obstacle and navigation databases provide full view of obstacles, airport and runway data. These are then seamlessly combined to images in the visible spectrum.

"The FalconEye camera is one of the most sophisticated electrical-optical systems available for commercial aviation. The implementation of repair services in North America for Dassault FalconEye guarantees customers will have first-rate service of the system" said Dror Yahav, Chief Executive Officer at Universal Avionics.
