Places Color Symbology In Helmet Display And Tracking
Systems
A contract to supply Boeing Military Aircraft with the CV-22
Color Helmet Mounted Display (HMD) for the Air Force Special
Operations Command (AFSOC) has been awarded to Elbit Systems of
America, LLC ("Elbit Systems of America"). Work will be performed
in Fort Worth, Texas. The contract, which is not in an amount that
is material to Elbit Systems, will allow Elbit Systems of America
to provide the U.S. Air Force with a Color HMD that includes full
helmet tracking capability and effectively meets AFSOC objectives
in the near and long term.
Coupling Helmet Display and Tracking System (HDTS) technology
with new color symbology for day and night vision goggle night
missions, AFSOC CV-22 crews will attain a higher level of
situational awareness, allowing them to fly heads up and eyes out.
This capability is crucial today and in the battle space of the
future. Elbit Systems' Color HMD with head tracking capability
delivers this important solution while also providing a growth path
to a myriad of situational awareness solutions.
The color HMD is based on the proven Elbit Systems ANVIS/HUD
system which has been in use by U.S. Army, U.S. Navy, U.S. Marines,
U.S. Coast Guard and U.S. Air Force rotary wing/tilt rotor pilots
for many years.
Elbit Systems of America President and Chief Executive Officer,
Raanan Horowitz, commented: “We are pleased to have been
selected by Boeing to provide cutting-edge technology for the
warfighter, delivering high quality color Helmet Mounted Displays
to support critical missions and needs. Elbit Systems of America is
a leader in developing, producing and deploying helmet mounted
display systems for many customers and applications. Our systems
are proven, offering situational awareness and added safety to
military forces on various platforms.”
