FORT WORTH, Texas, September 12, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --
Elbit Systems of America, LLC,
headquartered in Fort Worth,
Texas, is a global leader in aircraft Helmet Mounted
Displays (HUDs) and situational awareness. On September 12-14, Elbit Systems of America will
highlight proven solutions during this year's F-16 and Proven
Aircraft Technical Coordination Group World Wide Review. Visit
booth #1 at the Ogden Eccles Conference Center, 2415 Washington
Blvd., Ogden, Utah to see
innovative technologies in Helmet Mounted Display (HMD) systems,
HUDs and trusted sustainment and support solutions.
For over 20 years, Elbit Systems of America has integrated
various advanced systems into the F-16 and through its RCEVS joint
venture with Rockwell Collins is the main provider of Joint Helmet
Mounted Cueing Systems (JHMCS) and HMDs worldwide.
"The combat proven and robust design of the JHMCS makes our HMD
the global solution of choice for F-16 pilots. Currently, over 20
countries are flying F-16 fighter aircraft equipped with Elbit
Systems of America's JHMCS capabilities." commented Chris Hickey, vice president Sustainment and
Support of Elbit Systems of America.
The HMD solutions provide accurate cueing of targeting systems
and tactical information wherever pilots look versus the field of
view limitations of a traditional HUD. This proven technology is
part of what keeps the F-16 relevant on today's battlefield.
As the F-16 evolves, so does the JHMCS. One important
modification Elbit Systems of America offers through the RCEVS
joint venture is the addition of the JHMCS Digital Eye Piece (DEP).
The DEP provides pilots the same cueing and display symbology used
in the daytime while using night vision devices. The DEP attaches
to existing JHMCS HMDs with no required aircraft modifications and
gives pilots the ability to transition from day to night or night
to day simply and quickly, either before flight or while
airborne.
Elbit Systems of America also offers a wide array of logistics,
sustainment, modernization, and upgrade solutions to domestic and
international F-16 fleets. One improvement of note is the
reliability and maintainability upgrade to the aircraft's Wide
Angle Conventional Head-Up Display (WAC HUD) and Diffractive
Optical Holographic (DOH) HUDs. Each HUD takes critical flight and
mission data normally displayed inside the cockpit instrument panel
and projects the information on a transparent surface directly in
front of the pilot. The total system provides pilots a
sharper image when conducting targeting operations.
"We have delivered over 1200 F-16 HUD reliability and
maintainability upgrades and, as systems evolve, Elbit Systems of
America provides trusted sustainment and support solutions to
customers worldwide." Hickey continues. Currently, Elbit Systems of
America's reliability and maintainability upgraded HUD is approved
for use on F-16 Blocks 30, 40, and 50.
