FORT WORTH, Texas, Feb. 15, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Enabling U.S.
Air Force pilots to dominate decisively in air warfare, through a
cockpit nexus of sensor and data fusion capabilities is a priority
of Elbit Systems of America, LLC. The company will feature an
innovative suite of intelligent pilot interfaces, precision
munition seekers and advanced aircraft threat detection systems at
the annual Air Force Association's Air Warfare Symposium and
Technology Exhibition, February 21-23
at Rosen Shingle Creek in Orlando,
Fla. These advanced capabilities serve to advance pilot
situational awareness, aircraft survivability, moving/static target
precise engagement, and mission effectiveness in day/night/degraded
visual environments.
"Elbit Systems of America is the innovation leader in
integrating the multi-dimensional, connected aspects of air
operations into the cockpit," stated Raanan
Horowitz, president and chief executive officer of Elbit
Systems of America. "The capabilities we offer are at the
center of sensor and data fusion for the pilot. We offer pilots
5th generation situational awareness across multiple
aircraft platforms."
Examples of the company's advanced capabilities and solutions
that will be highlighted in the Elbit Systems of America exhibit
(booth 403) include:
- Enhanced situational awareness during day, night and
in degraded visual environments. Through the integration of
leading technologies from across the Elbit Systems enterprise, we
bring generationally advanced capabilities to the fight. Our
advanced situational awareness and decision support solutions focus
on all aspects of sensing, processing, and displaying to provide
pilots the decisive edge.
Examples:
- Building and integrating a suite of sensors, optimized for the
mission.
- Sensor/data fusion resulting in more robust detection,
classification, and tracking in all environments.
- Advanced processing techniques and machine learning provide
improved threat detection and decision support.
- Architectural approach enables the seamless integration of
computer generated entities, leading to more realistic
training.
- 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. The company integrates its
missile warning and threat detection systems with our leading
helmet mounted display capabilities to bring 5th
generation pilotage capability into the cockpits of 4th
generation aircraft.
- Laser seekers for PGMs enable precise engagement of
both moving and static targets. 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.
- Cost-effective Advanced Crew Station (ACS) processes
critical data. The F-15 next-generation cockpit solution
reduces the pilot's workload by providing critical data for flight,
navigation and mission. The ACS optimizes tactical situation
displays, processes advanced applications, and provides
high-definition formats for advanced sensor video presentations.
- Total Aircrew Situation Awareness for improved
effectiveness. The C-17 Replacement Head Up Display (RHUD)
improves the effectiveness and capability of a legacy system with
an advanced upgrade. Upgrades for head-up displays, large
area displays, and enhanced vision systems improve situational
awareness and flight safety for airlift/tanker aircraft and of the
aircrews.
- Health monitoring capabilities for pilots.
Non-invasive, real-time monitoring of pilot vital signs provides
early warning and training for hypoxia and high G-force
conditions. The Canary Pilot Health Monitoring system is fully
integrated into Elbit Systems of America's line of next-generation
HMDs.
- Increased aircraft mission availability and reduced
operating cost. The company offers contractor logistic
support services and cockpit upgrades for 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, is the type certificate owner and
original equipment manufacturer (OEM) for the RC-26/Metro
aircraft.
