Elbit Systems of America said that the installation of the first head-up display (Hud) and Kollsman enhanced-vision system (EVS) combination in a 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 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.
