FORT WORTH, Texas, September 14, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --
Elbit Systems of America, LLC, will
showcase its portfolio of advanced technology and ground combat
solutions offered to the United
States Marine Corps at the 2017 Modern Day Marine
Exposition. This year's event will take place Sept. 19-21 at Marine Corps Base Quantico;
Quantico, Va. Elbit Systems of
America's exhibit will be located in tent A, booth 1211.
"We are committed to helping Marines achieve overwhelming
advantage and mission success," said Raanan
Horowitz, president and CEO of Elbit Systems of America.
"Our company's advanced technologies, capabilities, and solutions
contribute to helping the U.S. Marine Corps keep America safe."
The company's advanced technologies, capabilities, and solutions
to be showcased include:
- 360-degree situational awareness for ground combat
vehicles
- IronVision™, a vehicle helmet mounted display system, enables
vehicle crews to "see-through" armor, helping overcome inherent
visibility limitations while improving mission efficiency and
safety with command and control, sensor fusion, and fire
control.
- Precision targeting for enhanced mission effectiveness
- Common Laser Range Finder-Integrated Capacity (CLRF-IC) is an
electro-optical, hand-held tactical laser range finder system that
helps Marines detect, identify, and locate targets during daylight
or in low-light situations.
- Remote Weapon Station (RWS) and remotely operated turrets for
light- and medium-caliber weapons allow crewmembers to load
weapons, identify, and engage targets in a closed-hatch vehicle.
The advanced RWS system can be installed on ground combat vehicles
or sea-based combat platforms.
- SkyStriker is a cost-effective loitering munition that is
capable of long-range, precise tactical strikes. Sky-Striker
improves situational awareness and survivability by providing
direct-fire aerial precision capabilities to maneuvering ground
forces. It offers quick deployment and ease of operation in the
field, providing forces with the ability to observe and identify
targets before delivering rapid, precision airstrikes.
- Enhanced satellite navigation systems for GPS degraded
environments
- The Immune Satellite Navigation System (iSNS) provides full
jamming immunity for multiple satellite channels and manages
multiple interfering signals and/or jammers operating on concurrent
frequencies. By delivering a unique level of flexibility, the
system works with most GPS equipped receivers and requires minimal
integration effort. The iSNS modular form factor adapts to most
military air, land, and sea platforms.
For a quarter of a century, employees of Elbit Systems of
America have been entrusted with performing high-quality work
knowing that it protects and saves lives. In addition to providing
advanced technology solutions and capabilities for the U.S.
military, the company also provides enhanced situational awareness
solutions for our nation's border patrol agents and commercial
pilots; sustainment and support solutions; and life-saving medical
instrumentation technologies.
