FORT WORTH, Texas, October 3, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --
Elbit Systems of America, LLC, was
awarded a $31.5 million additional
component contract by the Defense Logistics Agency Land and
Maritime to provide Aviator Night Vision Imaging System Head-Up
Displays (ANVIS HUD). Work will be performed over a two-year
period.
"Elbit Systems of America is committed to providing America's
warfighters with the very best in advanced technology HUD," said
Raanan Horowitz, president and CEO,
Elbit Systems of America. "We are a proven and trusted partner for
component capabilities critical for platform mission
readiness."
This contract reinforces Elbit Systems of America's position as
a leading provider of HUDs. The ANVIS HUD is used for both day and
night missions on U.S. Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, and
Coast Guard rotary platforms. The helmet mounted display system
provides navigation and system symbology to pilots without having
to reference internal instruments. This reduces the pilot's
workload and improves situational awareness. Each ANVIS HUD helps
aviators operate effectively and safely during low-light, degraded
visual environments.
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 an array of advanced cockpit solutions to enhance pilot
situational awareness, the company also provides capabilities for
our nation's border patrol agents, commercial pilots, sustainment
and support solutions, as well as life-saving medical
instrumentation technologies.
