Degraded Visual Environment
Abstract
The Fiscal Year (FY) 2018 budget request funds the development, system testing, integration and installation of the DVE/BORES on Army aircraft to support qualification and operational test events. The DVE/BORES program increases survivability for both tactical operations and training missions within the Degraded Visual Environment which severely reduces or eliminates the aircrew's visibility due to atmospheric obscurants. DVE/BORES will combine obscurant penetrating sensor(s) with aircraft state data, via a fusion/synthetic vision system, to provide an initial capability for takeoff and landing modes of flight during brownout conditions. DVE/BORES will improve safety, reduce risk and add flexibility to aviation units by enhancing aircrew awareness through real-time detection and warning of terrain, obstacles and hazards. DVE/BORES will consist of rotorcraft sensor(s), software, software related firmware, and pilot to system interfaces and cueing.
