Elbit Systems of America’s (Booth No. 3113) Kollsman general aviation vision system (GAViS)–a head-down enhanced-vision system–is undergoing installation and certification on both the Piaggio Avanti II turboprop twin and Sikorsky S-76 helicopter. GAViS houses an infrared sensor in a single, aerodynamic line-replaceable unit, which allows for easy installation on an aircraft’s exterior.

Jet Works Air Center of Denton, Texas, is doing the installation and certification for Piaggio as its approved completions and installation center for the Avanti in the U.S. marketplace. GAViS is expected to be certified by year-end for both the Avanti and Avanti II.
