Degraded Visual Environment

Abstract

The FY 2021 budget request funds the development and integration of the Environment Exploitation System (EES) on an Army aviation platform to mature sensor and Multi-Core Processing capabilities to meet emerging Army requirements. The Degraded Visual Environment (DVE) project portfolio includes the DVE Army Directed Requirement (DR) and the EES. The DVE DR is to provide DVE systems to 15 HH-60M Blackhawk MEDEVAC helicopters and 25 Special Operations aircraft. The DVE DR fulfills an immediate DVE requirement while bridging the gap between future DVE capabilities. The DVE DR system provides a forward looking, situational awareness, fused-sensor image for single aircraft takeoff and landing in brownout conditions. Project EW7 Degraded Visual Environment completed development and test efforts in FY 2019. The EES focuses on active and passive sensor technology, synthetic vision, sensor and software data fusion, imagery processing, user interface, and multicore processing technologies to enable current and future capabilities and innovative technical solutions for the Army aviation fleet.
