Elbit Systems of America (Booth No.

Elbit Systems of America (Booth No. 3193) said yesterday that the installation of the first head-up display (HUD) and Kollsman enhanced-vision system (EVS) combination for the Challenger 604 is on track for certification early next year.

Priced at about $1 million including the cost of installation, the Challenger HUD/EVS upgrade STC is being performed by Jetcraft (Booth No. 4289) in Raleigh, N.C. The technology will bring to the Challenger 604 the same vision capability and landing credits now afforded other high-end business jets. Elbit Systems subsidiary Kollsman has delivered 500 EVS installations to Gulfstream, which offers HUD/EVS as a standard fit or option in every model it sells.
