Lockheed Martin is collaborating with H. N. Burns Engineering Corp. to develop technology that works to improve flight visibility in degraded visual environments and help prevent military helicopter pilot accidents.
Lockheed said Monday that it will combine its pilotage and sensor systems with H. N. Burns’ imaging laser radar technology to boost situational awareness and spatial orientation even in low-visibility conditions such as bad weather.
“Overcoming DVE challenges requires a strategy that blends multiple technologies,” said Terry Hoehn, fire control advanced programs director at Lockheed’s missiles and fire control unit.
“With H. N. Burns Engineering Corp., we are pursuing new DVE solutions to help pilots safely sense their relationship to surrounding terrain and buildings.”
