Description

Guardian Next Generation Cockpit Avionics System

Lightweight and easy to install, Guardian is the first truly modular cockpit avionics system, complete with the industry’s highest resolution display with realistic synthetic vision. Welcome to the digital avionics’ revolution.

An Affordable Advanced Aviation Technology System

Guardian redefines avionics, giving pilots access to an affordable cockpit system that provides features that are key to improved flight safety. Through a ground-up software-based design, Guardian allows individual avionics additions and upgrades while delivering information rich high-resolution imagery for unmatched situation awareness.

Guardian brings all navigation, communication, aircraft systems, autopilot, weather, terrain, obstacles, traffic information, and more together into one compact, simple, and customizable system.

Aircraft

Initially available for FAR Part 23 Class I/II aircraft (under 6 passengers and under 6,000 lbs) in late 2025.  The full Guardian System will be available in mid 2026 for Part 23 Class III/IV and Part 27 aircraft.

Lightweight With Flexible Installation

Guardian is up to 50% lighter than current cockpit display solutions. Whether you choose a single or dual screen display solution, each display is connected to the NEST by a single cable. Additionally, the NEST can be installed anywhere in the aircraft, providing flexibility for weight and balance and maintenance, while also freeing up space behind the panel.
