DVE
Abstract
The DVE Quick Reaction Capability (QRC) is an Army Directed Requirement (DR) to provide DVE systems to 15 HH-60M Blackhawk MEDEVAC helicopters and 25 Special Operations aircraft. The DVE QRC DR fulfills an immediate DVE requirement while bridging the gap between future DVE capabilities pursued within the DVE Increment I program of record. The DVE QRC DR provides a forward looking, situational awareness, fused-sensor image for single aircraft takeoff and landing in brownout conditions. The Degraded Visual Environment (DVE) Increment I program increases survivability due to DVE brownout conditions encountered during takeoff and landing. The DVE Increment I program is equally applicable to training scenarios as well as tactical operations. DVE Increment I will combine sensor(s) technology with critical aircraft flight information (aircraft state data) to provide an initial capability that increases aircrew awareness through detection and warning of hazardous terrain and obstacles. DVE Increment I improves safety, reduces risk, and maximizes flexibility for Aviation units. DVE Increment I activities include development, system testing, qualification, and aircraft integration.
