Max-Viz, the Portland, Ore.

Max-Viz, the Portland, Ore. designer and manufacturer of infrared enhanced-vision systems (EVS) for airborne applications, is at Heli-Expo 2009 with two new systems and information on emerging use of EVS to boost the safety of EMS operations. The FAA, NTSB and the EMS industry are evaluating EVS as a candidate technology for improving EMS night operation safety.

The original Max-Viz EVS-1000 system is being replaced by the EVS-1500, which includes a number of new features specifically designed to meet helicopter operational requirements. The new Max-Viz EVS-100 enhanced-vision system for piston helicopters, with a recommended end-user price of $15,000, is designed for operators who have indicated a strong interest in a lower cost EVS option to match their performance and price target requirements.
