Orlaco DEVS camera system for airport crash trucks

Orlaco Products has developed camera systems for ARFF (aircraft rescue and firefighting) vehicles that are fully DEVS compliant. The US Department of Transportation FAA posted an advisory (Circular AC No: 150/5210-19A) that is being increasingly adopted by airports all over the world. Section 1 of DEVS (Driver’s Enhanced Vision System) ‘Vision Enhancement’ is quickly becoming the standard for most airports, and is already a must for category 10 airports.

Orlaco has several total (plug-and-play) vision solutions for airport crash trucks. Its DEVS basic solution contains a robust, waterproof thermal imaging (far infrared) camera, mounted on a pan and tilt unit, with tailor-made cables and a 12” display. The system is controlled by a joystick. As recommended by the FAA advisory, it is possible to build out the system with an easy yet durable video recorder. Additionally, more and more users want to include a daylight zoom camera, rear-view camera and even side-view cameras. The whole system is modular and can be configured to meet user requirements. Orlaco can also carry out control integration in, for example, the ARFF vehicle’s CANbus system.
