Garmin G5000H Integrated Flight Deck Selected by Brazilian Air Force

Garmin, a leader in aviation technology, has recently announced a significant milestone: the Brazilian Air Force has chosen its G5000H® integrated flight deck for the modernization of 24 UH-60L Black Hawk helicopters, through a partnership with Ace Aeronautics. This selection underscores Garmin’s commitment to providing the military with state-of-the-art avionics solutions that greatly enhance operational capabilities.

Enhancing Military Operations

The G5000H cockpit system is a remarkable upgrade over traditional interfaces. Its modular open systems architecture allows for seamless integration of various mission management tools, communication systems, and advanced military sensors. With its IFR certification, the G5000H assures military pilots that they are equipped with reliable and cutting-edge technology, capable of meeting the demanding requirements of military aviation.

Carl Wolf, Garmin’s Vice President of Aviation Sales, expressed excitement regarding the adoption of the G5000H by the Brazilian Air Force. He stated that the modernization initiative would not only bring next-generation avionics to the helicopters but would also significantly reduce pilot workload and enhance situational awareness through the inclusion of modern technologies such as Helicopter Synthetic Vision Technology (HSVT) and Helicopter Terrain Awareness and Warning System (HTAWS).

Key Features of the G5000H

The G5000H integrated flight deck comes packed with features designed to improve the efficiency and safety of flight operations:

• - High-Resolution Displays: Each cockpit includes four 12-inch high-resolution widescreen displays, enhancing visibility and user interaction.
• - Touchscreen Controls: Touchscreen controllers allow pilots to interact easily with the system, even while wearing gloves—a crucial feature in operational environments.
• - Advanced 3D Visualization: The HSVT feature creates a real-time 3D view of the aircraft's surroundings, allowing pilots to visualize terrain, obstacles, and traffic as if they were looking out from the cockpit on a clear day.
• - Improved Ground Awareness: The HTAWS provides crucial alerts regarding ground hazards, increasing safety during missions.

The G5000H supports a mixture of military systems, including Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) for real-time tracking and monitoring of air traffic, as well as integration capabilities with third-party sensors and radios, thereby ensuring a flexible and robust operational framework.

Proven Track Record

The initial installation of the G5000H in a UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter by Ace Aeronautics launched a successful program that now extends to respected military organizations around the globe. As military needs evolve, Garmin continues to adapt its technology, focusing on innovation and integration to meet the needs of defense operators worldwide.
