Max-Viz, a designer and manufacturer of enhanced vision systems (EVS) with uncooled infrared sensors for airborne applications, is at Heli-Expo’10 (Booth No. 1628) to talk about its helicopter applications. Last year was an exceptional year internationally for EVS, said v-p of sales Bill Harwood. He noted that Poland ordered 23 Max-Viz EVS-1500 systems for its EC135s. Max-Viz is a qualified supplier of EVS-1500 systems for factory installation on new aircraft from both Agusta-Italy and Eurocopter-Germany, for new production A109, AW139 and EC135 helos.

European EMS operators are embracing EVS. Rega Switzerland, a mountain rescue and EMS provider, has ordered 11 A109 DaVincis with EVS-1000 systems that are used in conjunction with night-vision goggles. Five are now in service.
