Dassault and avionics specialist Elbit last week unveiled new details on the Falcon 5X's combined vision system (CVS), which is the first of its kind. In the CVS, Elbit merges synthetic and “real world” vision for enhanced situational awareness in poor weather and at night. Sensors can be found in infrared, visible light and “almost radar” wavelengths—well beyond the usual infrared sensors in conventional enhanced vision systems (EVS), according to a Dassault executive. The multispectral array of sensors has a field of view of 35 degees horizontal by 26.5 degrees vertical, while the field of view for the head-up display (HUD) is 40 by 30 degrees.
