Provides Flight Info In Pilot's Line Of Sight
Beginning in 2009, Rockwell Collins' new HGS-6000 Head-Up
Guidance System (HGS) series will be featured on new aircraft
delivered by Gulfstream Aerospace. The HGS-6000 will be standard
equipment on Gulfstream G450 and G550 aircraft, and optional
equipment on the G150, G200, G350 and G500 aircraft.
"We're teaming with Gulfstream to provide a modular HGS solution
that utilizes our industry-leading head-up display technology,"
said John Desmond, vice president, Head-Up Guidance Systems for
Rockwell Collins. "We look forward to delivering the benefits of
enhanced low-visibility operations, improved energy management and
dependability to Gulfstream operators."
"We are pleased to add Rockwell Collins to our team of suppliers
for advanced vision products," said Pres Henne, senior vice
president, Programs, Engineering and Test, Gulfstream Aerospace.
"This is the first time we are designing an advanced Head-Up
Display and Guidance system for our entire family of Gulfstream
aircraft. Many features and operations will be common to the entire
fleet. It will also allow us to develop and host other advanced
vision technologies, such as Synthetic Vision, when they become
available."
The Rockwell Collins HGS-6000, featuring advanced active-matrix
liquid crystal display technology, presents critical flight
information in the pilot's forward field of view. Aircraft flight
path and attitude symbols appear overlaying the outside scene
enhancing situational awareness, improving energy management and
increasing touchdown precision. The Rockwell Collins HGS for
Gulfstream provides both the brightest image over the widest HUD
field-of-view in the industry while improving installed head
clearance by more than 50 percent.
The new all-digital display will allow the pilot to see an
integrated display of flight information and an infrared image from
Gulfstream's Enhanced Vision System (EVS) in almost all weather
conditions. The HGS-6000 is designed for the future with
growth capacity to support emerging technologies such as synthetic
vision and surface guidance which will further improve safety of
operations.
