FORT WORTH, Texas, April 19, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --
Elbit Systems of America, LLC, will
highlight advanced mission solutions for U.S. Army aircrew
readiness during the Army Aviation Association of America's annual
summit. The event will take place April
26-28, 2017 at the Gaylord Opryland Hotel & Convention
Center in Nashville, Tenn. Elbit
Systems of America's exhibit will be located at booth 750.
"Elbit Systems of America is committed to helping keep America
safe as well as protecting those who serve our nation," said
Raanan Horowitz, president and CEO
of Elbit Systems of America. "We provide U.S. Army Aviators proven
and trusted capabilities that enhance their situational awareness
and overall mission effectiveness."
Mission solutions to be highlighted at the summit include:
- Degraded Visual Environment Solution. From combat
missions to humanitarian assistance, U.S. Army Aviators fly in
demanding environmental conditions. The company's Degraded Visual
Environment (DVE) solution uses intuitive 3D conformal symbology to
provide accurate navigational information in a clear, easy to
understand manner. This allows pilots to respond quickly to
surrounding conditions.
- Helmet Display and Tracking System. The
DVE solution employs a hybrid magnetic/inertial helmet tracker and
color day and night optical displays known as the Helmet Display
Tracking System (HDTS). The HDTS, which mounts to Army-standard
HGU-56 aviator's helmet, provides critical flight and drift cues
during brownout operations and other extreme environmental
situations, as well as the ability to slew weapons or optical
payloads to the pilot's line-of-sight. This unique technology
improves crew coordination and mission
effectiveness.
- Apache Multi-core Mission Processor. With
a commitment to providing innovative solutions that anticipate
ever-increasing requirements, the company's multi-core mission
processor supports the demands of integrating future technologies
that reduce pilot workload and increase mission effectiveness. The
open-systems architecture leverages commercial, off-the-shelf
technology, resulting in high performance and scalable solutions
that meet the critical needs of modern Apache aviators. The
multi-core mission processor enhances upgrades with emerging
security and standardization requirements.
- Advanced Threat Detection. The cost-effective IR-based
missile warning system for all aircraft, PAWS (Passive Airborne
Warning Systems), provides protection for pilots during constantly
changing combat environments. Based on combat-proven technology,
the system allows for early threat detection and warning as well as
enhanced situation awareness allowing pilots to focus on their
mission, not the threat.
- New Payload Capabilities. SPECTRO XR is the newest
addition to the proven COMPASS family of electro-optic sensor
payloads. SPECTRO XR provides 20" payload performance in a compact,
highly integrated 15" multi-sensor package. SPECTRO XR brings
leap-ahead technology and image processing to airborne and vehicle
applications for superior surveillance, reconnaissance, and
targeting performance.
- FireFly Communications Amplifiers. The FireFly product
line is a modular, lightweight, high-power amplifier with swappable
and stackable modules allowing maximum mission flexibility for
aviators. The new family of amplifiers are available in single
channel, dual channel, and four channel models. When integrated
with next-gen software-defined networking radios, FireFly
amplifiers provide clearer signals and increased range.
- Life Cycle Contractor Support. Elbit Systems of America
delivers Life Cycle Contractor support to keep U.S. Army Aviators
flying. We provide quick reaction and expeditionary services to
include base operations, supply chain management, engineering
services, complex aircraft modifications, and field/depot level
maintenance for the Army's rotary and fixed-wing
fleet.
