missions that help keep America safe."
Examples of the company's advanced technologies, capabilities
and solutions that support U.S. Air Force missions include:
- Enhanced situational awareness for U.S. Air Force
missions during day, night and degraded visual environment.
- Pilots using the F-35 helmet-mounted display, achieve greater
situational awareness with the integration of three advanced
technologies: Head Up Display (HUD), helmet-mounted display, and
visor-projected night vision. The F-35 Helmet Mounted Display
System (HMDS) is a member of the Visor Projected Helmet Mounted
Display family that includes the Joint Helmet Mounted Cueing System
(JHMCS) Classic, Digital JHMCS, and JHMCS II. These HMDS are
offered through a joint venture between Elbit Systems of America
and Rockwell Collins, Rockwell Collins ESA Vision Systems LLC
(RCEVS).
- Through the advanced technology of the Digital Eye Piece and
JHMCS, USAF pilots are able to transition easily from day to night
operations while in flight, providing the advantage of a 24/7
helmet mounted display capability and cueing capability utilizing
current night vision goggles.
- SKYLENS displays high-resolution flight information, images,
and video on a high transparency visor without a flight helmet. A
component of the ClearVision Enhanced Flight Vision System,
SkyLens' wearable display provides pilots improved awareness day or
night and in all-weather situations.
- The Large Area Display (LAD) provides improved legibility in
extreme light conditions with high-definition symbology and
ultra-wide viewing angles. Elbit Systems of America, LLC, was
recently awarded a contract by Lockheed Martin Aeronautics to
develop the new Panoramic Cockpit Display Unit for the F-35
aircraft.
- Health monitoring capabilities for pilots. Non-invasive,
real-time monitoring of pilot vital signs provides early warning
and training for hypoxia and/or high G-force conditions. The Canary
Pilot Health Monitoring system is fully integrated into Elbit
Systems of America's line of next-generation HMDs.
- Advanced Crew Station (ACS) processes critical
data. The F-15 next-generation cockpit solution reduces the
pilot's workload by providing critical data. The ACS optimizes
tactical situation displays, processes advanced applications and
provides high-definition formats for advanced sensor video
presentations.
- Cost-effective capabilities to engage moving or static
targets in various conditions. Elbit Systems of America's
small, lightweight precision munition seekers are highly accurate
against stationary and high-speed moving targets. Laser seekers and
sensors provide increased accuracy and flexibility and minimize
potential for collateral damage.
- Increased aircraft mission availability and reduced
operating cost. The company offers contractor logistic
support services and cockpit upgrades for several military aircraft
platforms. These include site and depot level maintenance,
material management, engineering services, aircraft modifications,
and cockpit upgrades that sustain aircraft mission readiness.
Additionally, Elbit Systems of America's subsidiary M-7
Aerospace LLC, through type certificate ownership, is the original
equipment manufacturer of the RC-26/Metro aircraft.
- Early missile warning threat detection and improved aircraft
survivability. The combat-proven IR Missile Warning System for
the F-16 aircraft provides pilots earlier and improved situational
awareness of threats.
