FORT WORTH, Texas, Oct. 2, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Elbit Systems
of America, the U.S. subsidiary of Elbit Systems Ltd., will
showcase its advanced technologies at the Association of the United
States Army Annual Meeting in Washington,
D.C. on October 3-5.
Technology experts will be available in Hall A, Booth 1139, at the
Walter E. Washington Convention Center to discuss the advantages of
these innovative solutions for today's soldiers.
"Elbit Systems of America is committed to providing our nation's
Army innovative systems and technologies designed to increase
mission effectiveness and provide the necessary lethality,
flexibility and protection required for multi-domain operations,"
commented Raanan Horowitz, president
and chief executive officer at Elbit Systems of America. "By
working closely with users and combat developers we are supporting
the Army's goal of accelerating introduction of these capabilities
into the force."
Teaming with customers, agency partners, and industry, Elbit
Systems of America produces advanced systems designed to outmatch
enemies in an Anti-Access/Area Denial (A2/AD) encounter and to
ensure the safety of our nation's warfighters as they battle in
complex environments. Several of these technological solutions,
from precision targeting and, networking communications to guided
mortar systems, will be showcased at this year's Association of the
United States Army Conference.
Elbit Systems of America will showcase its family of advanced
targeting systems, including the Common Laser Range
Finder-Integrated Capability (CLRF-IC) and Enhanced Joint Terminal
Attack Controller Laser Target Designator (EJTAC LTD). The CLRF-IF
and EJTAC LTD are the results of Elbit Systems of America's focused
research and development effort for advancing handheld targeting
technologies and tactical laser based systems to improve engagement
accuracy and enhance communications between the sensor to
shooter.
As the Army's leading mortar systems provider, Elbit Systems of
America will highlight its FIRECON mortar system, which is
engineered for improved lethality and added force protection for
deployed troops. FIRECON, an automated digital application,
delivers improvements in indirect fire lethality by employing
faster deployment and greater responsiveness. When coupled with
Elbit Systems of America's family of advanced laser and multi-mode
seekers, mortar systems can become an even more effective
capability, providing deployable range and precision to ground
forces.
Force protection goes beyond protection of ground forces and
today's Army Aviators face increased risk of enemy countermeasures
as well as disruptive flight and weather conditions. With a
committed focus on advanced sensors and Degraded Visual Environment
(DVE) solutions, Elbit Systems of America is designing systems to
enable our Army Aviators to operate in all weather conditions and
various adverse situations. Elbit Systems of America understands
that to improve the ability of aviators to negotiate poor flying
conditions, sensors must see through the dark night to the terrain
and obstructions; flight controls should provide increased
stability and aided landings, complex computing should handle the
fusion of multiple sensors and conformal symbology; and, the cueing
and conformal symbology should provide reliable representations of
the world around the crew. By integrating these capabilities, our
solutions enhance mission effectiveness and the ability to engage
in all weather conditions.
As adversaries deploy a broad range of sophisticated threats,
Elbit Systems of America is focusing on developing and deploying
advanced threat detection systems such as the PAWS-US combat-proven
IR Missile Warning System for fixed and rotary wing aircraft.
PAWS-US is designed to provide highly reliable threat detection at
increased engagement ranges, with greater precision and with very
low false alarm rates. Coupled with Elbit Systems of America's DVE
solution set, Army aviators can operate more effectively across
wider range of battlefield domains and conditions.
Beyond the battlefield and air encounters, Elbit Systems of
America brings protection closer to home with its advanced sensors
and intelligent command and control border security solutions.
Currently in operation along the Arizona border, Elbit Systems of America's
border security technologies assess items of interest with speed
and accuracy; then, communicates the data through an easy to use
common operating picture for improved situational awareness.
