Ametek Ameron has signed an agreement with Klatt Works to install SAVED (Smoke Assured Vision Enhanced Display) into customer oxygen masks with full mask overhauls, or as OEM equipment. The SAVED system is a high-resolution display fully integrated into pilot and co-pilot emergency oxygen masks.
Adam Brammer, Ameron Divisional Vice President & Business Manager, said: “We strongly believe that this partnership will provide the global customer base with a product that will hugely improve the safe operation of their aircraft.”
Nathan Klatt, President & CEO of Klatt Works, said: “Klatt Works has been developing this product for several years and expects the initial STC on the 777 to be granted before the end of 2022. We look forward to additional aircraft STCs for SAVED and to working with Ameron to provide a high standard of customer service.”
According to Klatt Works, SAVED provides real-time imaging of the aircraft’s HUD and forward-looking cameras inside the oxygen mask making it easier for the crew to fly, navigate, and land the aircraft even in extreme smoke emergencies.
