Rockwell Collins Unveils Enhanced Vision System That Can Detect LED Runway Lighting

On Friday, Rockwell Collins unveiled its new EVS-3000 enhanced vision system, which includes a multi-spectral EVS sensor that “significantly improves detection of outside terrain, hazards and obstacles in low-visibility conditions caused by weather phenomena such as fog.” The EVS-3000 also brings the industry-first ability to fully detect LED lighting, which is increasingly being used by airports as a runway lighting solution. It does not require a built-in cooling system, reducing weight. Rockwell Collins will announce a launch customer for its EVS-3000 on Monday at the NBAA Convention.
