Brownout Rotorcraft System (BORES)/Degraded Visual Environment (DVE)
Abstract
The BORES addresses tactical operations and training missions within DVE which restricts or severely reduces the aircrew's visibility due to atmospheric obscurants. BORES will initiate the use of DVE as a tactical advantage for Army Aviation. In addition, BORES will improve safety, reduce risk and add flexibility to aviation units by enhancing aircrew situational awareness through real-time detection and warning of terrain, obstacles and hazards. BORES will consist of integrated rotorcraft pilotage augmentation systems, sensor(s), software, software related firmware, and pilot to system interfaces and cueing devices. BORES will combine obscurant penetrating sensor(s) with aircraft state data via a fusion/synthetic vision system to provide an initial capability for ground taxi, hover, takeoff and landing modes of flight during brownout conditions.
