The VISION project  is a European-Japanese collaborative research project. To enhance air transport safety, the main objective of the project is to validate smarter technologies for aircraft guidance, navigation and control (GN&C)  by including:

  1. Computer vision-based systems,
  2. Advanced detection and resilient methods.

Critical flight situations are targeted, especially during near-ground operation phases (NB: half of the fatal accidents in the last decade occurred during approach or landing). Actually, despite continuous improvements in reliability and performance, the complexity of flight control systems (FCS) also requires the use of many information sources that are likely to suffer from faults and disadventageous environmental conditions. To overcome these anomalies, recent projects have evaluated advanced solutions, but their transfer to the industry was slowed down by lack of flight validations, limitations of on-board computers or certification issues. For further information about this and related projects see.
