FORT WORTH, Texas, Sept. 22, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Elbit Systems
of America, (NASDAQ: ESLT) (TASE: ESLT) will showcase
solutions that demonstrate the company's ability to create software
that conforms to the latest compatibility and safety standards
across avionics systems for the United
States military at the FACE & SOSA Expo & Technical
Interchange Meeting. With its partners, Elbit Systems of America
will exhibit in booth 58/59 at the Dayton Convention Center in Dayton, Ohio on Sept.
17, 2019. The event is hosted by the U.S. Air Force Life
Cycle Management Center.
The FACE & SOSA Expo & TIM is a one-day event that will
bring more than 50 companies and organizations together to
highlight progress made for functionality and interoperability of
modular open systems used across various airborne systems. At the
event, Elbit Systems of America will demonstrate their ability to
provide FACE-conformant software with our large area display (LAD)
and linked helmet mounted display (HMD), while our partner through
Elbit Systems Ltd., Universal Avionics, will show their
software-based flight management system operating in a
FACE-conformant Common Operating Environment (COE).
Elbit Systems of America's HMD and LAD demo showcases the very
interoperability promoted by the Open Group FACE and SOSA
consortia. In this demo alone, the software components of half a
dozen companies work together to receive, process and relay
information from an Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast to
the HMD and LAD, while running in the latest FACE 3.0 COE. Those
companies are CoreAVI, DDC-I, Inc., ENSCO Avionics and Real-Time
Innovations.
"As a founding member of the FACE Consortium, Elbit Systems of
America is committed to keeping our avionics software safe, secure
and compatible across platforms," said Layne Merritt, vice president of Technology
& Innovation at Elbit Systems of America. "Our goal is provide
our military customers the best capabilities through common
computing infrastructure. This approach reduces costs and quickens
the pace for getting the newest capabilities to the
warfighter."
The Expo and TIM provides an opportunity to learn more about
functionality and interoperability of modular open system
environments in both the Future Airborne Capability Environment
(FACE) and the Sensors Open System Architecture (SOSA) consortia.
This is the first joint exposition and TIM for these consortia.
