Several Shapes available on demand.
Cutting-edge Kappa HUD camera technology with the latest sensor technology and image processing is designed for all technical generations of HUD systems, from current scanning laser back to older CRT technology. Kappa is your experienced partner, for latest generation technology as well as in the retrofit area. Without having to use a motorized lens the camera system is suitable for camera positions between combiner and windshield, while the camera dynamic is still > 105 dB. For camera positions between the pilot and the performance is ensured by the use of a motorized lens. Kappa HUD cameras can be qualified up to DAL B RTCA/DO-254 und DO-178. Kappa HUD cameras are available in several shapes on demand. We understand your requirements completely!

HUD camera for real-time pilot's view
Maximum performance of the new HUD cameras with high-quality CMOS sensors (e.g., IMX252):
- no blooming, no smear
- improved signal characteristics
HUD cameras in training aircraft display the pilot’s complete view live on the accompanying trainer’s screen.
HUD cameras connect to the existing recording system for debriefing / recording the pilot view for later flight evaluations and documentation.
