Supporting the U.S. Army Mission: Elbit Systems of America Showcases Advanced Capabilities and Solutions at AUSA

FORT WORTH, Texas, October 3, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --

Elbit Systems of America, LLC, will highlight its portfolio of advanced capabilities and solutions for the United States Army during the Association of the United States Army's (AUSA) annual meeting and exposition. This year's event will take place October 9-11, at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center, Washington, D.C., booth 2003.

"Elbit Systems of America is committed to delivering trusted and effective capabilities that strengthen the United States Army," said Raanan Horowitz, president and CEO of Elbit Systems of America. "Our combat-proven solutions contribute to ensuring mission success for next generation warfighters."

Examples of the company's advanced technologies, capabilities, and solutions to improve Soldier mission effectiveness and readiness include: 

        
        - Enhanced warfighter situational awareness for ground combat vehicles and flight
          operations during day, night, and degraded visual environments. The vehicle sensor
          systems of IronVision(TM) allow warfighters to "see through" closed hatch vehicles,
          360-degree situational awareness and increased survivability. Full mission sensors
          suites for helicopters including advanced sensors, large area displays, multi-core
          mission processors, helmet display and tracking systems, and communication equipment
          provide pilots with critical flight data, reducing pilot workload and increasing
          situational awareness in all weather conditions.
        - Cost-effective capabilities to engage moving or static targets in various conditions
          and longer ranges in complex terrains. Loitering munitions, laser and multi-mode
          seekers, and advanced targeting systems provide increased target accuracy and
          flexibility, minimizing the potential for collateral damage. Loitering Munitions also
          provide warfighters with advanced surveillance and additional strike capabilities,
          drastically minimizing target identification and impact. Small, lightweight, precision
          munition seekers and sensors are highly accurate against stationary and high-speed
          moving targets. Handheld target locators and designators provide precision target
          locating, guiding laser-guided munitions, or handing off targets to Close Air Support
          aircraft.
        - Advanced Threat Detection Systems. Our mature and fielded missile warning systems (MWS)
          are capable of detecting the various threats facing fixed-wing and rotorcraft
          aircraft flying in today's highly contested battlefield environment. With open system
          architecture, robust processing and advanced algorithms, our MWS has the necessary
          growth feature to also mitigate future and emerging threats.
        - Increased aircraft mission availability and reduced operating cost. Contractor
          logistic support services and cockpit upgrades are offered for several military
          aircraft platforms. Material management, engineering services, aircraft modifications,
          and cockpit upgrades sustain aircraft mission readiness. With facilities strategically
          located in the United States, intermediate - and depot-level support is available to
          eliminate solution-related downtime and keep aircraft in the fight. This is
          accomplished through a multi-tier repair network and advanced logistics parts
          provisioning that allows a global network to perform with local responsiveness.
        - Advanced C4I allows for greater awareness and mission effectiveness. Soldiers can
          improve command, control, communications, computers, and intelligence with networking
          and command and control solutions. Mobile shelters, command centers, wireless sensor
          networks, radios, and advanced communications devices provide a wide range of
          awareness during critical missions.
        - Enhanced satellite navigation systems for GPS degraded environments. The Immune
          Satellite Navigation System (iSNS) provides jamming immunity for multiple satellite
          channels and manages multiple interfering signals and/or jammers operating on
          concurrent frequencies. By delivering a unique level of flexibility, the system works
          with most GPS-equipped receivers and requires minimal integration effort. The iSNS
          modular form factor adapts to most military air, land, and sea platforms.
