A CMC Electronics SureSight M-Series infrared enhanced-vision system (EVS) sensor has been installed on an AgustaWestland AW139 for a corporate customer by Edwards & Associates, a subsidiary of Bell Helicopter. The avionics installation specialist expects to receive the FAA STC for the installation soon.

Cathy Bain, CMC v-p of marketing and sales, said the EVS sensor gives pilots a daytime-like image at night and in certain low-visibility conditions such as haze. She called it a “cost-effective safety tool” for helicopter crews flying in darkness, smoke, smog or other poor visibility conditions.
