Elbit Systems of America, LLC, a leading provider of high performance products, system solutions, and support services will highlight highly developed mission solutions for U.S. Army aircrew readiness during the Army Aviation Association of America’s annual summit. The event will take place on April 26-28, 2017 at the Gaylord Opryland Hotel & Convention Center in Nashville, Tennessee. Elbit Systems of America’s exhibit will be located at booth750.
“Elbit Systems of Americais committed to helping keep America safe as well as protecting those who serve our nation,” said Raanan Horowitz, president and CEO of Elbit Systems of America. “We provide U.S. Army Aviators proven and trusted capabilities that enhance their situational awareness and overall mission effectiveness.”
Mission solutions to be highlighted at the summit include:
• Degraded Visual Environment Solution. The U.S. Army Aviators fly in demanding environmental conditions from combat missions to humanitarian assistance. The company’s Degraded Visual Environment (DVE) solution uses intuitive 3D conformal symbology to provide precise navigational information in an easy way to understand permitting pilots to respond quickly to surrounding conditions.
• Helmet Display and Tracking System.The DVE solution employs a hybrid magnetic/inertial helmet tracker and colour day and night optical displaysknown as the Helmet Display Tracking System (HDTS). The HDTS provides serious flight and drift signals during brownout operations and other severe environmental situations, as well as the ability to slew weapons or optical payloads to the pilot’s line-of-sight improving crew coordination and mission effectiveness.
• Apache Multi-core Mission Processor. The company’s multi-core mission processor supports the requirements of integrating future technologies that reduce pilot workload and adds to mission effectiveness. The open-systems architecture leverages commercial, off-the-shelf technology, resulting in high performance and scalable solutions that meet the vital needs of modern Apache aviators. The multi-core mission processor enhances upgrades with emerging security and standardisation necessities.
• Advanced Threat Detection.The cost-effective IR-based missile warning system for all aircraft, PAWS (Passive Airborne Warning Systems), provides protection for pilots during continuously changing combat environments. The system allows for early threat detection and warning as well as superior situation awareness allowing pilots to focus on their mission, not the threat.
• New Payload Capabilities.SPECTRO XR is the latest addition to the COMPASS family of electro-optic sensor payloads. SPECTRO XR provides 20″ payload performance in a dense, highly integrated 15″ multi-sensor package. SPECTRO XR brings leap-ahead technology and image processing to airborne and vehicle applications for superior surveillance, reconnaissance, and targeting performance.
• FireFly Communications Amplifiers. The FireFly product line is a modular, lightweight, high-power amplifier with swappable and stackable modules allowing utmost mission flexibility for aviators.The new family of amplifiers is available in the single channel, dual channel, and four channel models. When integrated with next-gen software-defined networking radios, FireFly amplifiers provide clearer signals and increased range.
• Life Cycle Contractor Support. Elbit Systems of America delivers Life Cycle Contractor support to keep U.S. Army Aviators flying. They provide fast reaction and expeditionary services to include base operations, supply chain management, engineering services, complex aircraft modifications, and field/depot level maintenance for the Army’s rotary and fixed-wing fleet.
