Rockwell Collins Highlights HUD Safety and Efficiency
Rockwell Collins’s HGS-3500 heads-up guidance system is designed to be installed in aircraft as small as owner-flown single-engine turboprops through midsize business jets, offering the advantages of HUD to those pilots.

Now that the Rockwell Collins Pro Line Fusion avionics system is certified and in service, pilots who enjoy the benefits of flying with a head-up display (HUD) gain a new feature on the HUD, synthetic vision. The first business jets with HUD synthetic-vision systems (SVS) are Bombardier’s Global 5000/6000. On these platforms, pilots can switch the HUD between three different views: normal HUD, SVS and enhanced-vision systems (EVS, provided by infrared camera systems). The SVS and EVS images also are available on the head-down displays mounted in the instrument panel.
