Special Operations Command and the Army are adopting new technology to improve visibility during flight operations in degraded conditions.
Sierra Nevada Corp. was selected for the third phase of the degraded visual environment pilotage system competition following a 2015 airborne test. The company’s most recent contract modification includes full-rate production, according to a company news release.
Paul Bontrager, Sierra Nevada’s vice president for government relations, said the system will help pilots operate in areas with limited visibility such as fog and dust.
