TUCSON,
Ariz., July 18, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Universal
Avionics (UA) was awarded a contract valued at $33 million to supply ClearVision™ systems
–Enhanced Flight Vision Systems (EFVS) from AerSale (NASDAQ: ASLE).
The solution featuring the SkyLens™ Head Wearable Display (HWD) and
EVS-5000 cameras for the Boeing 737NG, is part of the AerAware™
installation, developed by AerSale.
The deal follows increasing interest in the aviation market for
enhanced vision systems that provide significant operational
benefits and improved situational awareness at night and in low
visibility conditions.
ClearVision provides an innovative Combined Vision System (CVS)
displayed to both pilot and copilot on the SkyLens HWD, a certified
display for commercial aviation. The intuitive avionics suite
includes UA's high-resolution EVS-5000 Enhanced Vision System (EVS)
camera, composed of six sensors for a comprehensive and
unprecedented multispectral coverage, and a 3D Synthetic Vision
System (SVS). ClearVision greatly improves crew resource management
in the cockpit of the 737NG and offers pilots the ability to
overcome degraded visibility situations day and night allowing them
to move in and out of airports faster, saving time and increasing
operational efficiency. With SkyLens, pilots continuously operate
head-up and can monitor flight information while retaining 3D
situational awareness of terrain, and eventually aircraft traffic,
through the system's unlimited 360-degree Field of View.
ClearVision is a trusted and certified solution, flying today on
several fixed-wing and rotary-wing aircraft, building on more than
20 years of EVS heritage and more than 3000 EVS cameras already in
service.
Dror Yahav, CEO of Universal
Avionics said: "The ClearVision EFVS solution brings substantial
capabilities to the 737NG and has demonstrated its advantages to
operations including the ability to overcome degraded visibility
solutions during any time of day. I believe that the ability to
allow aircraft to operate in conditions well below published
minimums is a game-changer."
Nicolas Finazzo, Chairman and CEO
of AerSale said: "With this contract, we're ensuring deliverability
of the AerAware system to the growing number of airlines who have
expressed interest in this solution. We are bringing this
innovative solution to commercial operators for improved safety and
operational effectiveness and we're seeing a lot of excitement as
we conduct demonstration flight tests."
