Sferion – Pioneering Flight Demonstration in Bueckeburg July 2015

1 juil. 2015 by Airbus DS

Search and Rescue (SAR) teams and Special Operation Forces flying helicopters face a number of safety challenges because they have to fly at low altitudes and also in Degraded Visual Environments (DVE), such as brown-out, white-out, and zero-light conditions. This makes normal flight impossible.

The usage of Airbus Defence and Space developed Sferion system shows how today’s technologies can improve the helicopter pilots’ safety and help solve their problem of DVE. Where human eyesight alone is not enough, powerful software can process and combine information from sensors, databases and data links and present it in visual format.
