FORT WORTH, Texas, February 23, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --
Recognizing the aviator's need for
advanced nighttime cueing and display capabilities, Elbit Systems
of America, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Elbit Systems Ltd.,
is showcasing its Digital Eye Piece (DEP) during the
32nd Annual Air Force Association Air Warfare and
Technology Exposition. These technologies, developed in cooperation
with Rockwell Collins through the joint venture RCEVS, will be on
display at Rosen Shingle Creek, Booth 301, Orlando, FL, on February 24-26.
Since introducing the Joint Helmet Mounted Cueing System
(JHMCS), Elbit Systems of America has provided aviators with over
20 years of proven day cueing technology. Now, Elbit Systems of
America advances this technology with the DEP, a lightweight night
vision cueing and display solution for the JHMCS helmet mounted
display system. 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 and
software. The DEP is an affordable solution that meets the
operational needs of military aviators and is plug-and-play with
currently fielded JHMCS helmets.
"Our plug-and-play capability fits seamlessly into currently
fielded night vision devices, driving costs down and bringing
crucial JHMCS day capabilities into nighttime operations, as it
should be" said Raanan Horowitz,
president and chief executive officer, Elbit Systems of America.
"Pilots will now have the ability to transition easily from day to
night configuration while in flight, enabling mission completion
from dusk to dawn."
In addition to the DEP, Elbit Systems of America will also be
displaying the Digital JHMCS (DJHMCS). This upgraded system
provides aviators with immediate and accurate recognition of
friendly units, threats, and unknown targets, giving the aircrew a
comprehensive view of the entire battle-space. Already in full
production, DJHMCS is a backwards compatible system that provides
the same performance and increases growth capabilities.
