Descripción del proyecto
Una solución europea para filtros compatibles con los sistemas de imágenes de visión nocturna
El mayor uso de equipos de sistemas de imágenes de visión nocturna (NVIS, por sus siglas en inglés) intensifica la necesidad de contar con existencias abundantes de filtros compatibles con NVIS de bajo coste. El proyecto financiado con fondos europeos FANVIS se centra en un filtro absorbente de tipo Green-A compatible con NVIS y rentable que tiene un rendimiento superior a las prestaciones técnicas de las soluciones existentes. Este filtro es adecuado para aviones, vehículos, barcos, simuladores y, en menor grado, otros equipos civiles, como equipos personales, radios y ordenadores portátiles. FANVIS tiene como objetivo crear una solución competitiva patentada internacionalmente y que facilite la independencia respecto de proveedores externos, de forma que se refuerce la industria europea.
Objetivo
Technology and design improvements in Night Vision Imaging Systems (NVIS) have led to important price reductions in these equipment, so their use is growing in the civil segments, such as commercial aviation, law enforcement agencies, guard coasts, emergency medical services, forestry services, wildlife observers, etc.
All illuminated panels within the cockpit in land/sea/air vehicles must integrate NVIS-compatible filters to enable the use of Night Vision Goggles (NVG). Filters’ suppliers are currently scarce and impose their unilateral selling conditions to manufacturers, integrators, adaptors and retrofitters of NVIS equipment. These suppliers come from outside EU market (mainly USA and Japan), so European industry is completely dependent on them as any change in trade regulations would have a negative impact, leading to stock disruption and costs increases.
GRABISUR is a European leader in the design and manufacture of Human Machine Interfaces (HMI) systems in aviation, naval and land vehicle industries. The FANVIS project is the result of an R&D project, which has developed a cost-effective NVIS-compatible Green-A type absorptive filter (TRL6 prototype) that outperforms the technical features of current solutions. The FANVIS filters will be internationally patented and will allow the non-dependence on external suppliers, strengthening European industry.
Our filters are suitable for aircrafts, vehicles, ships, simulators and, to a lesser extent, other civil equipment (personal equipment, radios, laptops, etc.). Our main target customers are Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs), platform manufacturers and organizations performing NVIS upgrading/repairing. Just considering the civil helicopters’ segment, we have estimated a yearly Total Addressable Market of €7.7M. This project aims at analysing the technical, economic and commercial feasibility of this new product that, according to our preliminary data, presents a ROI of 1.9.
