The Genesys Aerosystems autopilot and avionics product lines are now part of Moog Avionics, following a rebranding announced last week at Verticon. Moog purchased Genesys Aerosystems in December 2020.

Also at Verticon, Moog Avionics introduced a new line of Genesys displays: the 13-by-8-inch touch-enabled IDU-1380. While the display incorporates features of the IDU-680, it adds more mission-planning capabilities, according to Moog. “The larger display expands page layout options and can be quickly customized to customer-specific mission requirements,” the company said.

Meanwhile, Moog began work on the Genesys GRC-4000 four-axis helicopter autopilot in 2022, adding collective control and hover and hold functionality to the HeliSAS product line. Now Moog has demonstrated hands-free takeoff, approach, hover, and landing capability with the GRC-4000 in the Bell OH-58 Kiowa and Sikorsky UH-60 Black Hawk helicopters.

“With a single button push activation, pilots can enable the autopilot functions to focus on mission-critical activities, increasing safety in high-workload environments,” Moog said.
