External vision system

An external vision system (XVS) refers to any of several methods to provide the pilot of an aircraft with a means to see outside the aircraft where traditional windscreens may not be feasible due to the aircraft configuration. An XVS would consist of external sensors, primarily video imagery, which is provided to the pilot(s) in real time via one or more displays intended to augment or replace the windscreen.
