On March 1-3, 2017, Elbit Systems
of America, LLC, will exhibit its unique capabilities in pilot
situational awareness, targeting and precision guided munition

the Rosen Shingle Creek in Orlando,
Fla. Elbit Systems of America's exhibit will be
located in booth 1010.
"We are strategically focused on providing the decisive edge in

Experts will be available to discuss the capabilities of each
solution and how they enhance mission effectiveness and pilot
safety. Highlights on display at the show include:
- Unsurpassed Situational Awareness Provided by the
F-35 Helmet Mounted Display System. Elbit Systems
of America will demonstrate the F-35 helmet and its family of
helmet mounted display (HMD) systems that increase a pilot's
situational awareness through the integration of three advanced
technologies: head-up display, helmet-mounted display, and
visor-projected or NVG eyepiece-projected night vision. With the
HMD, F-35 pilots have a decisive edge in situational awareness,
precision, mission effectiveness, and safety. The F-35 HMD is a
member of a family of Visor Projected Helmet Mounted Displays that
includes the Joint Helmet Mounted Cueing System (JHMCS) Classic,
Digital JHMCS, and JHMCS II. These helmet mounted display systems
are offered through a joint venture between Elbit Systems of
America and Rockwell Collins, Rockwell Collins ESA Vision Systems
LLC (RCEVS).
- Advanced Cockpit Solutions - Improving Fighter
Pilot's Situational Awareness. For decades,
Elbit System of America has supplied avionics for customers
worldwide, optimizing tactical situation displays, processing
advanced applications, and providing high definition formats for
advanced sensor video presentations. During the event, Elbit
Systems of America will demonstrate a revolutionized cockpit system
for the F-15 aircraft. The display includes cutting edge mission
processors, a head-up display, and a large area display with touch
screen and picture-in-picture capabilities to provide increased
situational awareness and mission effectiveness.
- Combat-proven Precision Guided Munition
Seekers. Also on display are Elbit Systems of
America's precision guided munition seekers. The semi-active laser
and multi-mode seekers are designed for munitions such as the Laser
Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM), Laser Small Diameter Bomb, and
