Dassault launches new combined vision system for Falcons.

The system, dubbed FalconEye, is being shown on a Falcon 2000LXS on display at the show. The aircraft is a production model due to be delivered soon after the exhibit ends.
“It’s in our very DNA to innovate in ways that bring added value to the customer,” said Eric Trappier Chairman and CEO of Dassault Aviation. “With the advent of our Combined Vision System, operators will benefit from a superior Head Up Display (HUD) design that affords vastly improved situational awareness and safety regardless of the time of day or weather conditions.”
FalconEye is the first HUD system to combine synthetic, database-driven terrain mapping and actual thermal and low-light camera images, providing an unprecedented level of situational awareness to flight crews. The fourth-generation, multi-sensor camera is composed of six different sensors, fusing images from both the visible and infrared spectrums.
“What makes this truly revolutionary is the unique and patented way in which we blend real video of the outside world in low-light conditions with synthetic terrain imagery, a first in the business jets industry,” said Dassault’s senior VP, Olivier Villa.
