PR Newswire (US)
Contracts Valued at Approximately $14 Million HAIFA, Israel, June
18 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Elbit Systems Ltd. (NASDAQ:ESLT)
announced that it has been awarded two contracts, in a total amount
of approximately $14 million to supply Aviator's Night Vision
Imaging System/Head-Up Displays (ANVIS/HUD(TM)) for helicopters of
two NATO member countries. The ANVIS/HUD(TM) system employs cutting
edge technologies to provide the most advanced system of its kind,
offering a 24/7 significant increase in situational awareness and
safety by allowing the pilot to fly "head out of the cockpit"
during night operations and projecting critical flight information
into the night vision goggles' view. This system has been in
operational use by U.S. Army, U.S. Navy / U.S. Marine Corps and
U.S. Air Force rotary wing pilots since the mid-1990's and is
installed on numerous utility and special operations helicopter
fleet platforms, including the UH-60, CH-53 CH-47, CH-46, AH-1,
UH-1, V-22, Super Puma, Cougar and others. The Elbit Systems Group
has equipped more than 5,000 helicopters, for more than 20
countries, with ANVIS/HUD(TM) systems. Yoram Shmuely, Corporate
Vice President and General Manager of Elbit Systems' Airborne and
Helmet Systems Division said: "The selection of our systems for
this project attests to Elbit Systems' leadership in the field of
helmet and heads-Up display systems. The ANVIS/HUD(TM) system was
developed to fully comply with NATO and U.S. military requirements
allowing NATO pilots to safely and effectively execute their
various missions in both day and night conditions." Up to date,
Elbit Systems delivered over 5,000 ANVIS/HUD(TM) systems to over 20
countries worldwide. The JSF (F-35), considered the most advanced
tactical fighter jet of its kind, is equipped with Elbit Systems'
US subsidiary - VSI's helmet system. In recent weeks, the
aircraft's manufacturers, Lockheed Martin, conducted a number of
successful test flights using this helmet system. About Elbit
