FORT WORTH, Texas, Feb. 28, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Elbit Systems
of America (NASDAQ: ESLT) (TASE: ESLT) was selected by Cubic
Mission Solutions to design and develop the Full Motion Video Data
Link (FMVDL) amplifier module for the communications suite of the
F-35 Lightning II aircraft. The amplifier module is a critical
component of increasing the aircraft's advanced sensor suite by
providing enhanced situational awareness to both airborne and
ground forces. The F-35 FMVDL modules will be designed and
manufactured at Elbit Systems of America in Fort Worth, Texas.
"This selection demonstrates Elbit America's reputation as a
leader in providing innovative airborne amplifiers for military
tactical communications. Our F-35 full motion video amplifier
modules provide the power behind the F-35's integrated
communication/data link system and enable warfighters to have full
situational awareness, while boosting the 5th generation
combat capability of the aircraft," said Joel Friederich, Vice President of C4I &
Homeland Security Solutions at Elbit Systems of America.
Building off its legacy of airborne amplifiers, Elbit Systems of
America's solutions significantly boosts power for the F-35
communication suite, while reducing the unit's size. These aspects
enhance the ability of the aircraft to send and receive critical
information, thereby extending situational awareness from one
aircraft to an entire network of warfighters, whether they're
airborne or providing ground operations.
To date, Elbit Systems of America has supplied a variety of
components for the F-35, from the UHF/VHF power amplifier, to the
panoramic cockpit displays, to the unprecedented F-35 Helmet
Mounted Display System.
