Degraded Visual Environment
Abstract
The DVE is required to reduce personnel and rotorcraft losses while conducting both tactical and training missions in environments that restrict or severely reduce the aircrew's visibility due to atmospheric obscurants. DVE will improve safety, reduce risk and add flexibility to aviation units by enhancing situational awareness through real-time detection and warning of terrain, obstacles and hazards. DVE will consist of integrated rotorcraft pilotage augmentation systems, sensor(s), software, software related hardware, and pilot to system interfaces and cueing devices. DVE will fuse a synthetic vision avionics backbone with aircraft state data and obscurant penetrating sensor(s) to provide a single rotorcraft capability for ground taxi, hover, takeoff and landing modes of flight.
