The Australian Defence Force (ADF) is evaluating the Selex ES ‘VigilX’ enhanced vision system, which is designed to solve the enduring problem of landing a helicopter in degraded visual environments (DVE).

The system was formally selected by the Australian Defence Science & Technology Organisation (DSTO) as part of technology demonstration to identify a solution that integrates a number of sensors to provide a ‘through the hull’ view outside the aircraft.

Speaking to Shephard at the LAAD 2013 exhibition in Rio de Janeiro, Selex ES executive director for marketing Gianpiero Lorandi said the ADF was assessing the utility of the VigilX system for possible fielding across the army and navy’s fleet of helicopters.  

‘This is a really key award for us and is the sort of contract that would usually go to a domestic company. So the fact we have been brought on board is an indication of how mature the technology is,’ Lorandi said.

VigilX pulls together multiple feeds from sensors placed around the aircraft to provide an integrated panoramic image to the crew’s helmet-mounted displays. 

The system being trialled by the ADF includes the Cassidian Hellas LIDAR as well as infrared, low light and visible band TV cameras. The imagery can also be displayed on head-up displays and cockpit multi-functional displays.

Lorandi noted that if the system was chosen for wider fielding, Selex ES would establish manufacturing capabilities with a domestic partner. The demonstration contract is being primed by Rheinmetall Simulation Australia.

Meanwhile, Selex ES used the exhibition to announce the signing of an MoU for a new joint venture with AEL Sistemas, a subsidiary of Elbit Systems.

The JV will initially cover the in-country maintenance of the Gabbiano T-20 radar provided for the KC-390 transport aircraft, although is expected to expand into other areas as needed.
