Howell Instruments equips the UH-60 Black Hawk with real-time engine data using DiSTI

Howell Instruments, a company specializing in cockpit engine instrumentation, was selected by the U.S. Army to create an advanced system for the Black Hawk helicopter. Their challenge was to implement the precise software and high-fidelity display visuals required for this complex upgrade. They engaged vendor DiSTI and utilized their GL Studio product to accomplish this.

DiSTI's GL Studio, specifically its Safety Critical Embedded Code (SCEC++), empowered Howell to engineer the Advanced Engine Instrumentation system. The solution provided an aesthetically pleasing, real-time display with a compact memory footprint. This resulted in increased pilot efficiency, critical situational awareness, and immediate access to flight performance data for the U.S. Army, ensuring the Black Hawk remains a vital asset for a variety of missions.
