Heads-Up Display (HUD) System, AN/AVS-7(V)

Heads-Up Display (HUD) System, AN/AVS-7(V)

Mission:
Provides Pilots with flight symbology while using the AN/AVS-6(V)3 Aviator’s Night Vision Imaging System (ANVIS) during night flight operations.

Description:
The AN/AVS-7(V) Heads-Up Display (HUD) takes aircraft data from numerous sensors and converts it to graphic files. This provides critical operational information superimposed as symbology onto the image the pilot sees through the ANVIS. The HUD minimizes the need for Pilots to examine cockpit instrument data, thus providing increased situational awareness outside the aircraft. The HUD system consists of the A-kit, which is the wiring harnesses, mounting brackets, and some additional sensors such as air data transducers, inclinometers, and thermocouple amps. A B-Kit, which consists of one CV-4229(V) X/ AVS-7 signal data converter; one C-12293/AVS-7 converter control unit; and two SU-180/AVS-7 display units. There is also an improved night flat-panel display unit, which can replace the cathode ray tube SU-180s on the legacy platforms. In addition, there is a day flat panel display to give additional situational awareness capabilities. Both flat panel displays can plug and play with legacy systems.
