The United States Army's requirement for low-level night helicopter operations has led to sensors that include image intensifiers operating in the near infrared as well as thermal imagers operating in the 8 to 12 micron region. To a large extent, these night vision systems were driven by available technologies with no clear data then available for optimum sensor designs to aid the pilot. A laboratory has developed, a night pilotage research system being flown on a test bed aircraft from Fort Belvoir's Davidson Army Airfield. A fleet of various helicopters supports the laboratory's developmental programs to determine the system requirements for enhanced night and nap-of-the-earth flying. An advanced pilotage system based on revolutionary approaches to night flying is expected, to operate with dual-spectrum and advanced sensors and displays that will be part of a second-generation rotorcraft pilot's associate program.
