FORT WORTH, Texas, Dec. 2, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Elbit Systems of
America subsidiary, Kollsman, Inc., was awarded a Prototype Project
(Agreement) via the Sensors Communications and Electronics
Consortium (SCEC) Other Transaction Agreement (OTA) held by SOSSEC,
Inc. for the development of the Multi-Domain User Sensor
Architecture (MDUSA) targeting system in support of the United
States Army. The company's solution, will enable the dismounted
soldier to prosecute targets with true handheld targeting, while
increasing situational awareness in a small, lightweight, modular
package.
"Our MDUSA prototype solution provides revolutionary
advancements from current targeting products and equips U.S. Army
Forward Observers with information needed to dominate the
battlefield," said Ridge Sower, vice
president of Ground Combat & Precision Targeting Solutions at
Elbit Systems of America. "This next generation system performs in
GPS-denied and other contested environments, offering increased
situational awareness in all battlefield environments."
The MDUSA OTA prototype project consists of a handheld target
locator module, a laser marker designator, precision azimuth and
vertical angle module, tripod and additional cutting-edge
technologies. This system improves target acquisition ranges,
reduces time to acquisition and allows Forward Observers to adapt
to new and unforeseen threats quickly. The system also aligns with
the U.S. Army's modernization efforts by enhancing lethality
effects from the sensor to the shooter.

Inc, are a leading supplier of lightweight targeting systems to the
U.S. military, such as the Common Laser Range Finder – Integrated
