NIGHT VISION IMAGING SYSTEM (NVIS)

Enhansing Night Operations

Night Vision Imaging Systems (NVIS) are crucial for military and helicopter pilots, enabling effective operations in low-light conditions. Aeromaoz specializes in NVIS Compatible Displays and lighting solutions that balance the needs of both NVIS and non-NVIS crew members.

Key features of our NVIS solutions:

  • Custom-designed filtering for optimal Night Vision Compatible Cockpit Displays
  • Reducing non-NVIS light by replacing source light with LED lamps, while keeping the dimming curve similar to lamps
  • Elimination of ghosting, halos, and goggle blooming
  • Upgrades and retrofits of existing platforms with non-NVIS elements
  • Solutions for both internal and external aircraft lighting
  • Compliance with MIL-L-85762A and MIL-STD-3009 specifications

Our Expertise Covers:

  • Illuminated panels and cockpit display systems
  • Annunciators and indicators
  • Bezels, post lights, and floods
  • Cargo loading and utility lighting
  • External lighting with IR illumination for covert operations

Aeromaoz offers individual components, installation-ready kits, and on-site installation services. With successful NVIS programs on over 50 different platforms, we provide tailored solutions for both fixed-wing and rotary-wing aircraft. Our Smart Cockpit Technology enhances night operation capabilities without compromising existing avionic functionality, delivering advanced Cockpit Displays that seamlessly integrate with Night Vision Compatible Cockpit Displays for superior operational performance.

Q&A

What NVIS compliance standards do your systems meet?

Aeromaoz NVIS systems comply with MIL-STD-3009 and MIL-L-85762A specifications, ensuring compatibility with Generation III night vision goggles. Our custom-designed filtering meets all NVIS color coordinates including Green A, Green B, White, and Red classifications, eliminating goggle blooming, ghosting, and halos for optimal night operations.

How do you eliminate goggle blooming and interference with night vision equipment?

Our NVIS-compatible lighting utilizes advanced spectral filtering that attenuates near-infrared radiation (610-930nm) while maintaining visible spectrum performance. Aeromaoz‘s proprietary LED filtering technology reduces non-NVIS light emission to levels below night sky radiation, preventing goggle saturation and maintaining clear night vision goggle functionality.

Can your NVIS systems accommodate both NVIS and non-NVIS crew members simultaneously?

Yes, our Smart Cockpit Technology balances illumination needs for mixed crew operations. Aeromaoz NVIS systems provide optimal lighting balance enabling NVIS-equipped pilots to operate effectively while ensuring non-NVIS crew members maintain adequate visibility. Our dual-mode lighting seamlessly transitions between day and night operations without compromising safety.

What platforms have you successfully implemented NVIS upgrades on?

Aeromaoz has completed NVIS programs on over 50 different platforms including fixed-wing aircraft like F-16, F-15, C-130, and rotary-wing platforms including Apache, Cobra, Super Puma, and Sikorsky variants. Our retrofit solutions cover military helicopters, fighter jets, transport aircraft, and UAV ground control stations worldwide.

How do your NVIS systems integrate with existing avionics without compromising functionality?

Our NVIS-compatible displays maintain full avionic functionality while adding night vision capability through internal light balancing and complete tactile functionality. Aeromaoz‘s integration approach preserves existing system architecture, electrical interfaces, and operational procedures, ensuring seamless upgrade without pilot retraining or system downtime.

What types of NVIS filtering do you offer for different aircraft lighting applications?

We provide NVIS filtering for illuminated controls, master caution/warning systems, map and utility lighting, compartment lighting, and electronic displays. Our Class A, B, and C filters support primary and secondary lighting components with custom spectral characteristics tailored to specific light sources and operational requirements.

Do you provide complete NVIS cockpit conversion services?

Yes, Aeromaoz offers complete night vision cockpit conversions including design, manufacturing, and on-site installation services. Our installation-ready kits include all necessary components, wiring harnesses, and documentation. We provide full system integration from individual components to comprehensive cockpit upgrades with certification support.

How do your NVIS systems perform in extreme environmental conditions?

Our ruggedized NVIS components operate reliably from -55°C to +105°C with resistance to shock, vibration, and electromagnetic interference per MIL-STD specifications. NVIS filters are highly heat resistant, outlasting light source life, and maintain spectral stability under thermal cycling and UV exposure throughout operational lifespan.

What color options are available for NVIS-compatible lighting?

Aeromaoz NVIS lighting supports all MIL-STD-3009 compliant colors including NVIS Green A/B, NVIS Yellow Class A/B, NVIS White, NVIS Red, and specialized colors. Our broadband LED sources with custom filtering achieve precise chromaticity coordinates while maintaining required NVIS radiance levels for different cockpit applications.

How do you ensure NVIS compatibility during the retrofit process?

Our engineering teams conduct comprehensive spectral analysis and radiometric testing per MIL-STD-3009 requirements using calibrated measurement equipment. Aeromaoz provides pass/fail testing, documentation, and certification support ensuring all NVIS-compatible components meet specification requirements before installation, guaranteeing successful night vision goggle integration and operational effectiveness.
