FORT WORTH, Texas, Sept. 12, 2018 /PRNewswire/
-- Elbit Systems of America, LLC, will
display a unique portfolio of airpower capabilities, focusing on
situational awareness and mission precision at the Air Force
Association Air, Space & Cyber Conference Sept. 17-19, 2018. The company's exhibit will be
in booth 901, at the Gaylord National Resort and Convention Center
in Oxon Hill, Maryland.
"Elbit Systems of America provides top-of-the-line
mission-optimized technologies, so our warfighters have a decisive
edge in combat," stated Raanan
Horowitz, president and chief executive officer of Elbit
Systems of America. "We leverage our company's 25 years of
experience to offer advanced and innovative solutions to enhance
mission effectiveness and the safety of the United States Airmen
who use our solutions."
The U.S. Air Force will maintain superiority now and in the
future with solutions that connect, share and learn. Elbit Systems
of America can support the USAF's dominance with two of the
company's core technology and market areas – Intelligent Pilot
Interface and Precision Technology & Autonomous Operations.
Other examples of the company's advancements that benefit the USAF
include:
Enhanced situational awareness for USAF 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 systems, helmet-mounted displays
(HMDs), and visor-projected night vision. The F-35 Helmet Mounted
Display System is a member of our Visor-Projected Helmet Mounted
Display family that includes the Joint Helmet Mounted Cueing System
Classic, Digital JHMCS and JHMCS II. These HMDs are offered through
Rockwell Collins ESA Vision Systems, LLC, which is a joint venture
between Elbit Systems of America and Rockwell Collins.
- Through the advanced technology of the Digital Eye Piece and
JHMCS, USAF pilots are able to transition easily from day to night
operations in flight, providing 24/7 helmet-mounted display
capability and cueing capability with current night vision
goggles.
- The Large Area Display provides improved legibility in extreme
light conditions with high-definition symbology and ultra-wide
viewing angles. When combined with a digital Low Profile Heads-Up
Display, it forms an Advanced Crew Station that is designed for
multiple sensor display and information fusion.
Early missile warning threat detection and improved aircraft
survivability. The combat-proven infrared missile warning
system for the F-16 aircraft provides pilots earlier and improved
situational awareness of threats.
Precision 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, including the cutting edge semi-active laser and multimode
strap-down seekers provide increased accuracy and flexibility and
minimize potential for collateral damage for precision guided
weapons.
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.
Cost-effective Advanced Crew Station 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.
Total Aircrew Situation Awareness for improved
effectiveness. The C-17 Replacement Head Up Display is one
example of the company's ability to improve the effectiveness of
legacy systems with advanced upgrades. Elbit Systems of America
also provides Head Up Displays, Large Area Displays, and Enhanced
Vision Systems upgrades to improve overall mission effectiveness of
airlift aircraft and the situational awareness of the aircrews.
Increased aircraft mission availability and reduced operating
cost. Elbit Systems of America 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 aircraft.
