MULTIWAVELENGTH
INFRARED CAMERA
FOR
ENHANCED VISIBILITY LANDINGS
This is a two wavelength camera system
which Optical Subassemblies designed and is building
for MaxViz,
Inc. , as part of their Enhanced
Vision System product line for aircraft. The camera is designed to
sit just in front of the cockpit and look forward. It has a thermal
imaging system for enhanced viewing through fog, and a short wave infrared
camera shown extending downward, and which is optimised to view the lights
on the sides of runways. Both cameras share a common front element
which is shown in this photograph. The MaxViz web site has very nice
video clips which clearly demonstrate the infrared camera advantages to
pilots, both in the air and on the ground.
