The Kollsman General Aviation Vision System (GAViS) is now certified on the Sikorsky S-76A, S-76B and S-76C helicopters. Pro Star Aviation has received Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) and is able to install the GAViS(TM) at the customer's location during annual inspections or at their facilities in Londonderry, New Hampshire.

GAViS is a lightweight infrared sensor that provides a video image of the aircraft's forward environment at night and in low visibility conditions. In designing the GAViS system, Elbit Systems of America has leveraged the same key technology that was developed for the EVS II used in all Gulfstream aircraft.
