Integrated Systems and Enhanced
Situational Awareness
Supporting our Army aviators, Elbit Systems of America will
present the family of Active Matrix Liquid Crystal Displays
(AMLCD), Mission Processors and the
latest design in Large Area Displays (LAD). Revolutionizing
the functionality of cockpits, the LAD is a panoramic
high-definition display measuring up to 22". The LAD provides
integrated high performance flight and mission graphics on a wider,
slimmer, single screen. AUSA visitors to the Elbit Systems of
America booth may also examine the Integrated Helmet &
Display Sight System-21 (IHADSS-21) and participate in a
cockpit demonstration which includes a Helmet Display and
Tracker System with Degraded Visual Environment
symbology. Elbit System of America provides enhanced
situational awareness for the Army Aviation fleet with increased
reliability and maintainability as well as integrated system
solutions for advanced cockpit upgrades.
Elbit Systems of America's Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS)
division will focus on the Skylark® I-LE Block II.
SkylarkI LE Block II is based on the operationally-proven Skylark I
UAS, currently used by many coalition partners. The Skylark
I- LE Block II version increases the system's operational range
up to 10 miles and the endurance to approximately 3 hours. The
system also features a unique gyroscopic-stabilized, gimbaled
payload optimally integrated with algorithms derived from the
larger Hermes® 450 UAS to enable auto-tracking of dynamic targets.
A hand-launched unit, the Skylark I-LE UAS combines the
characteristics normally reserved for larger UAS within the
form-factor of a man-portable system.
Targeting & Communication
Systems
Providing a range of fielded laser designators, from the Solider
on the ground to attack helicopters to AC130 gunships, Elbit
Systems of America's presentations highlight solutions for
warfighters and ground combat vehicles. The Terminal Attack
Controller (JTAC) Laser Target Designator (LTD) provides
laser marking and designation for foot mobile soldiers while the
Granite XR provides extended, long range reconnaissance
surveillance and target acquisition. Also on display will be the
Remote Weapon Station,
LongRange Thermal Imager (LRTI), Micro
Designator Marker, and TALOSTM. TALOS is
unattended, low-cost ground radar providing real-time detection and
tracking of humans and vehicles within a monitored area.

communications products and capabilities including High Power
Amplifiers (HPA), networking radios, intercoms, and data modems.
Featured at AUSA this year are a line of Mobile User
Objective System (MUOS) compatible amplifiers that include the

wideband amplifiers of reduced Size, Weight, and Power (SWaP)
consumption. The Improved Data Modem (IDM) line also consists
of very small, lightweight Universal and Personal Computer
Improved Data Modem (UIDM/PCIDM) models. Both the UIDM and
PCIDM provide an interface directly from a personal computer to a
radio where data can now be transmitted using a tactical radio
relay.
