FORT WORTH, Texas, Feb. 21, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Elbit Systems
of America, LLC announced that its joint venture with Rockwell
Collins, Rockwell Collins ESA Vision Systems, LLC (RCEVS) will
incorporate the Joint Helmet Mounted Cueing System II (JHMCS II)
helmet-mounted display into Republic of Korea Air Force (ROKAF)
F-16 aircraft.
"Our next-generation, helmet mounted display systems provide
game-changing situational awareness capabilities for pilots,"
commented Raanan Horowitz, president
and chief executive officer of Elbit Systems of America. "We are
committed to giving U.S. and allied warfighters the technology and
capabilities needed for the decisive edge in mission effectiveness
and pilot safety."
The ROKAF version of the JHMCS II helmet provides pilots with
enhanced situational awareness during day and night missions with
immediate and accurate visor-projected display of friendly, threat,
and unknown targets. The JHMCS II Night Vision Goggle (NVG) and
Digital Eyepiece (DEP) solution allows pilots to easily convert
from day to night operations by using one hand while airborne and
without removing the helmet. With the JHMCS II NVG/DEP night
solution, pilots are able to fly with HMD symbology during both day
and night missions.
Like its predecessor, the combat-proven JHMCS, the JHMCS II
provides pilots and aircrew the capability to direct sensors and
aim weapons. The JHMCS II system also includes an inherent future
growth path to enhanced capabilities including full-color symbology
generated by a digital image source, full color video, and pilot
health monitoring.
The JHMCS is used in the F-15, F-16, and F/A-18 aircraft. Elbit
Systems of America and Rockwell Collins, through RCEVS, also supply
the F-35 Helmet Mounted Display System.
