New-geNeratioN helicopter cockpit desigNed to iNcrease helicopter versatility aNd missioN efficieNcy while reduciNg pilot workload.
Avionics 2020 represents the new-generation in helicopter cockpit avionics. A concept adapted to the needs of civil helicopter pilots and their missions Avionics 2020 is the result of a number of partnerships, spearheaded by Thales with researchers, scientific institutions and world class experts over a number of years. Its aim is to refine understanding in the field of human-machine interface. These efforts, culminated into a new generation cockpit founded on the principles of natural and direct hands-on interaction, designed to give the pilot all the elements needed to make the right critical decisions at the right time.
missioN ceNtric
Avionics 2020 is perfectly suited to the needs of modern helicopter fleets, which require the same platform to fulfill many different types of missions, whilst maintaining the highest possible safety standards. Moderm helicopter cockpits need to integrate ever more complex and varied onboard functions according to each mission profile.
As a result, the helicopter cockpit of the futur will need to quickly adapt to mission types, flight rules and crew configurations, and to generally be a more flexible and versatile instrument.
As a mission centric concept therefore, Avionics 2020 is designed with the pilot in mind. As the number of mission types increase, additional burdens are placed on pilots, who are expected to perform more tasks. Avionics 2020 easily integrates future capabilities and functions to optimize and secure a wide range of helicopter missions, also taking into account specific functionalities driven by civil mission types such as Search And Rescue, Ermergency Medical Services or offshore missions.

The growing range of helicopter applications and the development of rotorcraft operational capabilities are driving complexity in cockpit systems. Current cockpit architecture is fast reaching the limit of the amount of systems that can be efficiently operated by pilots. The next generation of cockpit will require a different approach.
Avionics 2020 is the result of a number of partnerships, spearheaded by Thales with researchers, scientific institutions and world class experts over a number of years. Its aim is to refine understanding in the field of human-machine interface. These efforts, culminated into a new-generation cockpit founded on the principles of natural and direct hands-on interaction, designed to give the pilot all the elements needed to make the right critical decisions at the right time.
The 2020 concept introduces a modern and effective cockpit architecture which integrates a large, secure display area associated with several reconfigurable means of control; including multi-touchscreen capabilities and head-down controls, which offer pilots an intuitive interaction solution comprising all aircraft systems and functions.
opeN
Another important design philosophy behind Avionics 2020 is openness. Thales came up with this concept in order to help airframers and operators build the cockpit architecture that best suits their needs. Avionics 2020 achieves this with its Open Modular Avionics Concept. This is simply the ability to integrate any third party system or function into the cockpit architecture. In addition to this groundbreaking philosophical leap, other critical factors are built into the concept in order to make it a success; chief of which is a mature and EASA-proven incremental certification process which reduces the integration and certification costs all along the lifecycle of the cockpit, therefore helping its inherent capability for newer functions to be added as required and as they are developed.
Because the cockpit’s future proofing is built into its very foundations, in addition to IFR Iow altitude Required Navigation Performance Authorization Required (RNP AR) or Localizer Performance with Vertical guidance (LPV) approaches; Avionics 2020 is conceived with SESAR/NexGen and Cleansky in mind. Anticipating the futur complexities of the skies is one of Thales’s key strenghts in the Air Traffic Management market, where the Group is a world leader. As such, all of our innovative products, including Avionics 2020 are being developed with the capability to interface with new helicopter approaches and upgraded ATM communications, guaranteeing optimized SESAR/NexGen functionalities integration.

Perhaps one of the strongest attributes this cockpit brings to the market is its scalability to any type of helicopter. Conceived around a «family» concept, Avionics 2020 is based on a building block approach integrating human-machine interface, infrastructure, functions and equipment so that it can address cockpit size variability with
the same concept, reducing crew training and associated cost.
Furthermore Avionics 2020 benefits from advanced framework with customization capabilities that provide customers with the crucial capability to make the cockpit their own.
