Universal Avionics Aperture visual data management solution

The Universal Avionics Aperture visual data management solution has received technical standard order (TSO) authorization, allowing delivery of the system to begin. Although it hasn’t identified the company involved, Universal Avionics said it has started “serial production for a major avionics OEM and is seeing strong interest from aircraft manufacturers and operators.”

Aperture allows avionics designers to aggregate information from up to eight video inputs and four video outputs, according to Universal, “with near-zero latency, at the highest level of integrity in commercial aviation (Design Assurance Level A).” This information can be combined with enhanced vision system camera and sensor imagery to give pilots a real-time view of the airport environment, including vehicles, aircraft, and other obstacles.
