HELIVAS is the most modern visual landing aid system (VLA) in the world to meet the U.S. Navy VLA requirements for both daytime and NVG. Recently launched onto the Aviation Facilities Market, AGI’s Helicopter Visual Approach System (HELIVAS) is the latest in Helicopter Visual Landing Aids for the naval pilot. The system has dominated the attention of the world’s most prominent operators of Helicopters from ships, resulting in large production contracts from the UK and some of the most technically advanced overseas navies.

HELIVAS, as a single suite of equipment, combines a Stabilised Glide Slope Indicator (SGSI), a Stabilised Horizon Reference System (SHRS) and Deck Edge Lighting of LED or advanced Electro-luminescent (ELP) design. Designed and developed to the most demanding defence standards, HELIVAS extends the safe operating and recovery parameters of helicopters in severe weather conditions. Reducing pilot workload to a minimum, HELIVAS offers the Naval Helicopter Pilot the most up to date suite of visual landing aids available today.
