Security camera system GMCS

for aircraft

Securaplane’s ground maneuvering camera system (GMCS) was developed for large air transport aircraft, and is standard equipment aboard all Boeing 777-300 aircraft. It provides pilots with real-time views of the landing gear, ground conditions and proximity to the pavement edge during taxi maneuvers using cameras mounted behind the nose gear and in both leading edges of the horizontal stabilizer. The images appear on a three-way, split screen, flight deck video display. The basic system is comprised of three cameras and a taxi camera interface unit (TCIU). GMCS cameras operate in light levels ranging from bright sun and snow to full moon, night-flight conditions. The TCIU can provide fixed views and can be preprogrammed for dynamic video switching. The environmentally sealed cameras have been designed and certified for the rugged external aircraft environment.
