FORT WORTH, Texas, February 22, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --
Elbit Systems of America, LLC, a U.S.
company and subsidiary of Elbit Systems Ltd., will present at the
Air Force Association Air Warfare and Technology Exposition
24-26 Feb. 2016 cutting-edge
technologies and products that protect and support pilots during
their critical missions. From avoiding danger to meeting it head
on, U.S. Air Force pilots can rely on solutions from Elbit Systems
of America to protect and save lives.
During this year's expo, Elbit Systems of America, a global,
integrated solutions provider, will showcase an array of
technologies that support the U.S. Air Force. Products on display
include a Digital Eye Piece (DEP) enabling Joint Helmet Mounted
Cueing System (JHMCS) night vision cueing and display capability,
an IR-based Missile Warning System that helps pilots identify,
avoid, and counter dangerous threats, and precision seekers that
can precisely eliminate threats all together.
The Digital Eye Piece for the JHMCS
Elbit Systems of America is advancing day cueing technology with
the DEP, a light weight night vision cueing and display solution
for the JHMCS. This next-gen solution brings daytime cueing and
display capabilities into night operations without the need for
costly upgrades, modifications or any changes to the aircraft. With
the DEP, pilots are now able to transition easily from day to night
operations while in flight, providing the advantage of helmet
mounted cueing and display capability around the clock.
Passive Airborne Warning System -
PAWS-US
PAWS-US, the combat-proven IR Missile Warning System (MWS) for
fixed wing and rotary wing aircraft allows pilots earlier threat
detection. The combat-refined, field-proven, low risk technology
also allows for improved situational awareness through its
IR-Centric/Distributed Aperture real-time assessment of the IR
battlefield picture giving pilots a more informed understanding of
threats, enemy forces, and their environment.
Precision Seekers
Engaging the Elbit Systems of America battle-proven family of
Precision Semi-Active Laser and Multi-Mode Seekers eliminates
threats and keeps our warfighters safe in the air and on the
ground. These advanced seekers, used by the USAF, USN, and foreign
allied countries, are effective on static or high-speed moving
targets and have an increased detection range for precision
targeting. Identified targets can be eliminated while protecting
surrounding environments.
"We are proud to support the United States Air Force as a full
spectrum partner for their mission success. It is our commitment to
the pilots, crews, and their families to provide technically
advanced solutions that will protect the warfighter during their
critical missions and allow them to return home safely," commented
Bob Edmonds, vice president of
marketing, Elbit Systems of America. "We also commend the Air Force
Association and their commitment to the understanding of aerospace
power and the role it plays in our national security,"
