FORT WORTH, Texas, April 18, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Providing
U.S. Army aviators the advanced capabilities they need to
dominate during combat engagements is a priority for Elbit Systems
of America, LLC, an innovation leader in bringing information
fusion technologies into aircraft cockpits for the U.S. Army's
current and future vertical lift programs. Elbit Systems of America
will feature an innovative suite of intelligent pilot interfaces,
aircraft survivability solutions and robust multi-core mission
processors at the 2018 Army Aviation Association of America Summit,
April 25-27, 2018. The summit takes
place at the Gaylord Opryland Hotel and Convention Center in
Nashville, Tennessee.
"Elbit Systems of America's solutions have earned the trust of
Army aviators and are used on multiple platforms, including the
Apache, Chinook and Blackhawk helicopter fleets" stated
Raanan Horowitz, president and chief
executive officer of Elbit Systems of America. "Our solutions –
past, present and future – offer pilots the very best in enhanced
situational awareness and improved mission effectiveness. Elbit
Systems of America's solutions allow aviators to dominate in combat
operations."
Examples of the company's advanced capabilities to be
highlighted in booth 742, 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
rotorcraft aircrews the decisive edge.
Examples:
- Building and integrating a suite
of sensors that are optimized for the mission.
- Information fusion that results in more robust detection,
classification and tracking in all 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.
- Large area touch displays that provide the pilot access to key
performances and operational updates
- Wide field of view helmet displays for optimized man-machine
interfaces.
- A degraded visual environment solution that uses intuitive 3-D
grid symbology.
· Embedded
synthetic training for real world threat engagement scenarios.
Our embedded training system integrates with current aircraft
displays and cockpit controls and can even network between aircraft
for collective training. The system evaluates crew survival
information that can be downloaded and reviewed in debrief after
flight.
· Advanced
Threat Detection Systems. Our missile warning systems are
capable of detecting the various threats facing fixed-wing and
rotary-wing aircraft flying in today's highly contested battlefield
environment. With open system architecture, robust processing and
advanced algorithms, our systems have the necessary growth feature
to also mitigate future and emerging threats.
·
Cost-effective capabilities to engage moving or static targets
in various conditions and longer ranges in complex terrains.
Loitering munitions, laser and multi-mode seekers, and advanced
targeting systems provide increased target accuracy and
flexibility, while minimizing collateral damage. Loitering
munitions also provide warfighters with advanced surveillance and
additional strike capabilities, drastically minimizing target
identification and impact. Small, lightweight precision munition
seekers and sensors are highly accurate against stationary and
high-speed moving targets.
· Advanced
high-speed mission processing capabilities. The company's new
multi-core mission processor provides faster processing speed and
higher power to improve the integration of sensor data displayed to
the Army aviator.
· 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. M7 Aerospace, LLC, an Elbit Systems of America
subsidiary, is the type certificate owner and original equipment
manufacturer for the RC-26/Metro aircraft.
