The Enhanced/Synthetic Vision System (ESVS) displays an augmented visual scene to the pilot that includes three separate image sources: a synthetic computer-generated terrain image; an enhanced visual image from an electro-optical sensor fused as an inset, and aircraft instrument symbology, all displayed to the pilot on a Helmet Mounted Display (HMD). A comprehensive research program has been pursued to support the ESVS project, including laboratory studies into basic human perceptual requirements in visually coupled systems, flight simulator studies emulating ESVS technology and operating conditions, and flight tests of ESVS component systems. Results have been sufficiently promising to warrant proceeding with development of a full Technology Demonstrator (TD) system, called ESVS 2000, which will be installed in and integrated with the NRC Flight Research Laboratory's Bell 205 Airborne Simulator. Flight test of ESVS components began in 1998 and the fully integrated system is scheduled to begin trials in August 2000.
