FORT WORTH, Texas, October 3, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --
Elbit Systems of America, LLC, will
highlight its portfolio of advanced capabilities and solutions for
the United States Army during the Association of the United States
Army's (AUSA) annual meeting and exposition. This year's event will
take place October 9-11, at the
Walter E. Washington Convention Center,
Washington, D.C., booth 2003.
"Elbit Systems of America is committed
to delivering trusted and effective capabilities that strengthen
the United States Army," said Raanan
Horowitz, president and CEO of Elbit Systems of America.
"Our combat-proven solutions contribute to ensuring mission success
for next generation warfighters."
Examples of the company's advanced technologies, capabilities,
and solutions to improve Soldier mission effectiveness and
readiness include:
- Enhanced warfighter situational awareness for ground
combat vehicles and flight operations during day, night, and
degraded visual environments. The vehicle sensor systems of
IronVision™ allow warfighters to "see through" closed hatch
vehicles, 360-degree situational awareness and increased
survivability. Full mission sensors suites for helicopters
including advanced sensors, large area displays, multi-core mission
processors, helmet display and tracking systems, and communication
equipment provide pilots with critical flight data, reducing pilot
workload and increasing situational awareness in all weather
conditions.
- Cost-effective capabilities to engage moving or static
targets in various conditions and longer ranges in complex
terrains. Loitering munitions, laser and multi-mode
seekers, and advanced targeting systems provide increased target
accuracy and flexibility, minimizing the potential for collateral
damage. Loitering Munitions also provide warfighters with advanced
surveillance and additional strike capabilities, drastically
minimizing target identification and impact. Small, lightweight,
precision munition seekers and sensors are highly accurate against
stationary and high-speed moving targets. Handheld target locators
and designators provide precision target locating, guiding
laser-guided munitions, or handing off targets to Close Air Support
aircraft.
- Advanced Threat Detection Systems. Our mature and
fielded missile warning systems (MWS) are capable of detecting the
various threats facing fixed-wing and rotorcraft aircraft flying in
today's highly contested battlefield environment. With open system
architecture, robust processing and advanced algorithms, our MWS
has the necessary growth feature to also mitigate future and
emerging threats.
- Increased aircraft mission availability and reduced
operating cost. Contractor logistic support services and
cockpit upgrades are offered for several military aircraft
platforms. Material management, engineering services, aircraft
modifications, and cockpit upgrades sustain aircraft mission
readiness. With facilities strategically located in the United States, intermediate - and
depot-level support is available to eliminate solution-related
downtime and keep aircraft in the fight. This is accomplished
through a multi-tier repair network and advanced logistics parts
provisioning that allows a global network to perform with local
responsiveness.
- Advanced C4I allows for greater awareness and mission
effectiveness. Soldiers can improve command, control,
communications, computers, and intelligence with networking and
command and control solutions. Mobile shelters, command centers,
wireless sensor networks, radios, and advanced communications
devices provide a wide range of awareness during critical
missions.
- Enhanced satellite navigation systems for GPS degraded
environments. The Immune Satellite Navigation System (iSNS)
provides 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.
