Degraded Visual Environment (DVE) Solutions
Own the Environment™
Degraded Visual Environment (DVE) refers to the loss of critical visual cues during flight whether due to weather, terrain or obscurants such as rain, snow, fog, dust, sand or smoke.
SNC’s DVE Solutions use multi-sensor fusion and Sierra Fusion™ advanced 3D world model to restore and enhance pilot situational awareness, improve flight safety and keep missions fully operational in conditions that would otherwise halt operations.
FEATURES
Multi-Sensor Fusion
Pilot-Centric Display Suite
Navigation & Safety Enhancements
DVE systems have the potential to revolutionize modern aviation for pilots, much like night vision equipment transformed military operations during WWII.
Medical Evacuation (MEDEVAC)
Enhances pilot safety and mission effectiveness during critical evacuations, enabling ingress/egress from conflict zones to evacuate and/or treat injured soldiers in hazardous conditions that previously grounded flights.
Special
Operations
Special Operations Aircrews Report: Reduced training time, increased operational safety and improved mission success rates.
Global Operational Deployment
TRL 9/MRL 10 readiness with proven theater performance across diverse, demanding environments worldwide. DVE systems have been integrated onto platforms including: HH-60M, MH-60M, CH-47F and V-280 Valor.
Sierra Fusion™ Advantage
Sierra Fusion, the 3D world data model powering SNC’s DVE suite, creates a digitally reconstructed, geo-registered operational picture that merges deep penetrating sensor inputs with mission tailored symbology. This capability delivers decisive clarity, faster pilot comprehension and enhanced survivability in complex flight environments.
By continuously updating the aircraft’s environmental reconstruction in real time, Sierra Fusion ensures pilots maintain reliable situational awareness even as conditions rapidly change.
