FORT WORTH, Texas, April 21, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --
U.S. Army aircrews stand ready to fly tough missions in
treacherous environments. Elbit Systems of America, LLC, a U.S.
company and wholly-owned subsidiary of Elbit Systems Ltd., provides
solutions ranging from helmet mounted displays to next generation
communications amplifiers that allow those aircrews the ability to
perform missions more effectively and safely. Elbit Systems of
America will showcase advanced aviator solutions during the Army
Aviation Association of America's Annual Conference and Exposition,
taking place in Atlanta, GA,
April 28-30, 2016.
Army aircrews' unique mission requirements stretch not only an
aircraft's performance, but each crew's operational capability.
From combat missions to humanitarian assistance, aviators must fly
in demanding environmental conditions. Elbit Systems of America's
Degraded Visual Environment (DVE) solution provides readiness to
pilots by using intuitive 3D conformal symbology. This unique
symbology provides accurate navigational information for degraded
environments in a clear, easy to understand manner, allowing pilots
to respond quickly to surrounding conditions. The DVE solution uses
a magnetic helmet tracker known as the Helmet Display Tracking
System (HDTS). The HDTS provides critical rotorcraft cues during
brownout operations and other extreme environmental situations, as
well as the ability to slew weapons or optical payloads to the
pilot's line-of-sight. This unique technology improves crew
coordination allowing the crew to focus on other tasks to improve
mission effectiveness.
Elbit Systems of America's advanced cockpit solutions go beyond
helmet requirements. With a commitment to providing innovative
solutions that anticipate ever-increasing requirements, Elbit
Systems of America's mission processors support the demands of
integrating future technologies and increased synthetic vision
specifications. The open-systems architecture leverages commercial,
off-the-shelf technology, resulting in high performance and
scalable solutions that meet the critical needs of modern Apache
aviators. Elbit Systems of America's mission processors enhance
upgrades with emerging security and standardization
requirements.
"With over 20 years' experience integrating advanced systems on
U.S. Army rotorcraft, our DVE solution combined with our fielded
HDTS is one advantage aviators have when flying in almost any
environment," states Raanan
Horowitz, president and chief executive officer, Elbit
Systems of America. "Additionally, our new FireFly™ line of
communications amplifiers provide next generation secured
communication capabilities."
The FireFly product line is a modular, lightweight, high-power
amplifier with swappable and stackable modules allowing maximum
mission flexibility for aviators, while lowering life cycle costs.
Elbit Systems of America's communications amplifiers increase
aircrew capabilities and support software defined radios with
higher bandwidth waveforms and enable voice and data communications
at greater speeds and further distances. The new family of
amplifiers are available in single and dual channel models that
extend tactical communications from 30MHz up to 2GHz. When
integrated with next-gen software-defined networking radios,
FireFly amplifiers provide clearer signals and increased range.
Elbit Systems of America also offers solutions when the Army's
aircraft are on the ground. When the mission is complete,
maintenance is essential. Elbit Systems of America provides full
service life-cycle support including modernization, sustainment,
and worldwide contractor logistics support for the Army's rotary
and fixed-wing fleet.
Kelly Dameron, senior vice
president of Airborne Solutions, Elbit Systems of America states,
"Pilots rely on Elbit Systems of America because of our innovation,
experience, and responsiveness. Maintaining a high on-time delivery
and quality rating with affordable sustainment solutions, we are
committed to providing the U.S. Army with the support they need to
keep their fleet flying and ready for the next mission."
