FORT WORTH, Texas, April 2, 2018 /PRNewswire/ --
Bringing enhanced situational awareness to U.S. Navy and Marine
Corps missions is a priority for Elbit Systems of America, LLC
(NASDAQ: ESLT and TASE: ESLT). The company will feature an
innovative suite of intelligent pilot interfaces, advanced seekers
for precision guided munitions, sustainment and support solutions,
and embedded virtual training at the annual Sea-Air-Space
Exhibition. The exhibition runs April 9-11,
2018 at the Gaylord National Convention Center, near
Washington, D.C.
"Our company is an established leader that brings sensor and
data fusion for the Navy and Marine Corps," stated Raanan Horowitz, president and chief executive
officer of Elbit Systems of America. "The trusted and proven
capabilities we offer enhance situational awareness and improve
mission effectiveness during real-world operations."
Examples of the company's advanced capabilities at the Elbit
Systems of America booth, number 1405, will include:
- Enhanced situational awareness during complex combat
operations and all flying 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 fixed- and rotary-wing pilots the decisive
edge in demanding operational missions. Examples:
- Sensor/data fusion that results in more robust detection,
classification and tracking in all weather and combat
environments.
- Open system architecture to enable the seamless integration of
computer-generated entities that leads to more effective mission
training and rehearsal.
- Advanced processing techniques and machine learning provide
improved threat detection and decision support for enhanced combat
effectiveness.
- F/A-18 aviators can cue aircraft weapons and sensors in
low-light and low-visibility environments through the Night Vision
Cueing and Display System.
- The Total Aircrew Solution (TACS) system provides dramatically
improved situational awareness between all crewmembers via
intuitive targeting and line of sight symbology. Using TACS,
crewmembers can see each other's line of sight, as well as where
their crew-served weapons are aimed. This allows geo-referenced
points-of-interest and/or targets to be instantly designated by any
crewmember.
- 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 the
company's line of next-generation Helmet Mounted Display
systems.
- Advanced Cockpit System enhances
mission success. This solution for the F/A-18E/F Super
Hornet and EA-18G Growler aircraft provides critical data for
mission execution and flight navigation. The ACS optimizes tactical
situation displays, processes advanced applications and provides
high-definition formats for advanced sensor video
presentations.
- Semi-active laser seekers for precision-guided
munitions enable precise engagement of both moving and
static targets. The company's small, lightweight precision
munition seekers are highly accurate against stationary and
high-speed moving targets. Semi-active 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 military aircraft platforms.
These include site and depot level maintenance, material
management, engineering services, aircraft modifications and
cockpit upgrades that sustain aircraft mission readiness.
- Full life cycle supportability solutions
- Maintenance, repair and overhaul
- Aircraft modifications (airframe, avionics)
- Contractor logistics support
- Avionics repair
- Electronics obsolescence management
- Virtual Mission Training System allows T-45 Goshawk
crews to train with live, virtual and constructive capability. It
simulates the use of radar and weapons against virtual aircraft and
ground targets and cooperates with other real and virtual
aircraft.
