Collimated

CAE is one of the largest producers of collimated displays in the world. Our continuous collimated displays have been a standard CAE offering for many years, both as part of a complete visual system or on a stand-alone basis.

Collimation is designed for cross-cockpit viewing, allowing a pilot and co-pilot to achieve maximum training benefit simultaneously. Collimated displays provide continuous, high-brightness, high-resolution imagery to the flight crew over the required field-of-view (FOV) making them ideal for training transport aircraft pilots.

CAE’s collimated displays use the latest Liquid Crystal on Silcon (LCoS) based projectors to provide high fidelity imagery with low maintenance effort and life cycle cost.

Extended field-of-view collimated displays
Extended vertical field-of-view (FOV) collimated mirror displays are also available, providing enhanced visual cues in military applications such as helicopters and fixed wing transport aircraft performing air-to-air refueling.

Chin and side window displays
Certain helicopter training applications require a greater field-of-view than what can be obtained with a standard collimated mirror offering. Chin and side windows provide an affordable alternative that allows for invaluable visual cues. These window displays can support a collimated or a non-collimated image and the devices ensure continuity by matching the appearance of the image on the main display.
