Robinson is committed to addressing and eliminating the top causes of fatal helicopter accidents. Wirestrikes and Controlled Flight into Terrain (CFIT) accounted for nearly 25% of all fatal accidents in our fleet over the last 20 years. Almost every year we have 1 or 2 fatal collisions with trees or wires. Smart application of technology can help make this a thing of the past and LAKE FUSION Technologies GmbH is leading the way in aviation terrain and obstacle awareness LIDAR. We are proud to partner with them on the road to zero fatal accidents in our fleet. #avistionsafety #helicopters #Safety #ClimbHigher
🚁 Robinson Helicopter Company and LAKE FUSION Technologies Sign Teaming Agreement 🚁 We are excited to announce that LAKE FUSION Technologies has signed a Teaming Agreement with Robinson Helicopter Company (RHC) to jointly explore the integration of our LiDAR-based Situational Awareness System (SitAwS) into Robinson helicopters. With SitAwS, our goal is to further enhance flight safety and operational efficiency – especially in challenging environments and degraded visual conditions. The system is designed to: 🔹 detect obstacles in real time 🔹 improve pilot situational awareness 🔹 support safe operations in demanding scenarios 🔹 bring an advanced obstacle-detection solution to the rotorcraft community We are proud to collaborate with RHC to advance next-generation safety technologies for helicopters – benefiting pilots, operators, and the entire rotorcraft community.
