FORT WORTH, Texas, May 16, 2018 /PRNewswire/ --
Providing advanced technology capabilities for America's Special
Operations Forces is a priority for Elbit Systems of America, LLC.
The company melds an innovative spirit with more than 25 years of
experience in the U.S. to deliver ready and proven capabilities to
enhance SOF operators' ability to understand, anticipate,
influence, respond and adapt to operational environments. Elbit
Systems of America will display mature, high technology readiness
level solutions at the Special Operations Forces Industry
Conference, May 22-24, 2018. The
conference, known as SOFIC, will take place in the Tampa Convention Center in Tampa, Florida.
"Special operations forces must be equipped with trusted and
capable solutions that allow them to command their operational
environments," said Raanan Horowitz,
President and Chief Executive Officer of Elbit Systems of America.
"Our company's innovative solutions offer enhanced situational
awareness and precision accuracy in a variety of operational
environments."
Examples of capabilities to be featured in Elbit Systems of
America's booth (#1212) at SOFIC include:
- Enhanced situational awareness during day, night and in
degraded visual environments. Through the integration of
leading technologies from across the Elbit Systems enterprise, the
company brings advanced capabilities to the fight. Advanced
situational awareness and decision support solutions focus on all
aspects of sensing, processing and displaying to provide
rotorcraft, tilt-rotor and fixed-wing aircrews a decisive edge.
Examples:
- Building and integrating a suite of sensors that fuse and
display information with near-zero latency. More robust detection,
classification and tracking.
- Open system architecture to enable the seamless integration of
computer-generated entities that leads to more effective mission
training and rehearsal.
- A degraded visual environment solution that uses intuitive 3-D
grid symbology.
- Wide field of view helmet displays for optimized human-machine
interfaces tied directly to emerging weapon solutions.
- Large area touch displays that provide the crew with quick
access to critical information.
- Cost-effective stand-off capabilities to
engage moving or static targets in various conditions and longer
ranges in complex terrains. The company's loitering munitions,
advanced targeting systems, and laser and multi-mode seekers for
precision guided munitions deliver increased accuracy and
flexibility, while minimizing collateral damage.
- Loitering munitions also provide advanced surveillance and
additional strike capabilities that reduces time between target
identification and impact.
- Advanced and lightweight targeting systems provide SOF day and
night capabilities for reconnaissance, surveillance and targeting
missions.
- Highly-accurate laser seeker capability with options for
additional modes to address GPS-denied and challenging optical
tracking environments to ensure an accurate and sustained fix to
target.
- Small unmanned aircraft systems that are
easily deployed and may be configured with a multitude of sensors
tailored to the mission.
- 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.
- Embedded synthetic training for real world threat engagement
scenarios. Embedded training systems integrate with current
aircraft displays and cockpit controls to network between aircraft
and provide collective training. The systems evaluate crew survival
information for subsequent download and review during post-flight
debrief.
