Intellisense Systems Inc. won a contract to supply the large format primary flight display (PFD) for the Calidus B-250, a light attack combat and training aircraft. This advanced cockpit display meets the performance requirements for the aircraft and features patented optical design techniques that provide outstanding brightness and contrast ratio for peak sunlight readability and reduce reflections within the B-250's bubble canopy. Intellisense expects to begin delivery of its 20 x 8-inch Large Area Displays (LAD–2008) as the PFD for the new B-250 in mid-2022.

The Calidus B-250 is a mission-ready single-engine turboprop aircraft designed specifically for asymmetric warfare zones. It incorporates a carbon fiber structure to withstand the most adverse environmental conditions, making it ideal for close air support, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR), and basic and advanced training. The B-250 also boasts a maximum range of 2,400 nautical miles, a maximum flight time of 12 hours, and operational costs of less than $1,200 per flight hour. The low-power consumption and high-reliability of the LAD–2008 enable those impressive capabilities. The B-250 program will serve the UAE Air Force and other global customers.
