“The means and manner by which this situational awareness information is delivered—whether by head-up displays (HUDs), head-down displays (HDDs), helmet-mounted displays (HMDs), enhanced vision systems (EVS), or synthetic vision systems (SVS)—is and has been a hotly debated issue,” Howard affirms. “It’s an issue we on the Avionics Europe and
Avionics Intelligence team plan to tackle alongside innovators in the industry, including knowledgeable engineers, executives, end users such as civil and defense pilots, and avionics regulation and certification experts.”
To that end, Howard welcomes industry insights on head-up and head-down displays, enhanced vision systems and synthetic vision systems, and related regulations, certifications, and standards by e-mail at [email protected]. She is also in the process of assembling and accepting referrals for Avionics Intelligence’s Arsenal of Experts on the topic of cockpit command and control, including situational awareness.
Avionics Intelligence will host a “HUDs vs. HDDs primer” Webcast in January, leading up to the Avionics Europe event (http://www.avionics-event.com). Webcast sponsorship opportunities exist; contact [email protected] for information.
