FORT WORTH, Texas, October 8, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --
As the United States Army faces the new challenges of an
increasingly capable enemy, Elbit Systems of America and its parent
company Elbit Systems Ltd. are investing heavily in research and
development to give the soldier the decided advantage in this new
and complex environment. Providing integrated and networked
solutions that leverage technical and operational expertise, the
company will showcase its solutions at the Association of the
United States Army (AUSA) in Washington,
D.C., October 12-14.
A world leader in improving lethality and survivability, Elbit
Systems of America is highlighting its Lightweight Remote Weapon
Station (RWS-L) during the show. This RWS-L provides precise
performance in a small package for harsh battlefield conditions.
Elbit Systems of America's larger caliber Remote Weapon Station
(RWS-H) is providing increased lethality and accurate firing for
high-mobility combat vehicles. Both weapon stations feature a low
silhouette and are fully remote to enhance crew protection and
survivability. The RWS-H configuration includes the addition of a
coaxial machine gun, anti-tank guided missiles, smoke grenade
launchers, an independent commander's weapon sight, laser warning
system, and ballistic armor protection with minimal equipment
inside the vehicle.
For precise targeting, the warfighter counts on solutions that
leverage advances in laser and optical technologies, such as the
Enhanced Joint Terminal Attack Controller Laser Target Designator
(EJTAC LTD) on display at AUSA. The light-weight laser
designator/rangefinder, at less than five pounds, is a foot mobile
solution for guidance of munitions and a laser hand-off to
aircraft. Featuring a digital magnetic compass and near infrared
laser pointer, the EJTAC LTD is effective during both day and night
missions.
While weapons protect the warfighter, intelligence gathering is
just as important for lethality and survivability. Soldiers using
the Common Intelligent Display II have a size, weight and power
solution for improving situational awareness without compromising
performance. The high resolution display is a unique tool to
improve operational performance while being fully customizable to
the soldiers' critical missions.
Elbit Systems of America understands that accurate situational
awareness allows for quick coordination and effective responses to
rapidly changing operational scenarios in the new, complex world.
Achieving this level of awareness requires advanced technologies
involving the latest hardware and software for both Army Infantry
and Aviators.
