automated digital application delivers a more efficient system for today's
mortar operator by employing faster deployment and improved responsiveness
and incorporating key Elbit Systems of America innovative products such as
the RPDA-57.
Also on display, Elbit Systems of America 'Apache Helicopter Mix':
Showcasing an integrated solution incorporating the IHADSS-21 advanced
helmet mounted display system, the Block III Mission Processor and a 6x6 High
Resolution AMLCD, all working together to create a complete solution for
flight crew situational awareness and enhanced vision capabilities.
Integrated Helmet and Display Sight System-21 (IHADSS-21)
Advancing the capabilities of rotor wing pilots, Elbit Systems of
America's IHADSS-21 is a reliable and "value for money" solution for rotor
wing aircraft. The IHADSS has the capability and ease of use to ensure
mission success and crew safety. This advanced system is currently in
production with a solid history of reliability and mission success. With the
IHADSS, the crew can be confident in of accurate night vision capabilities.
Central Mission Processor/Block III Mission Processor
With up to 25 general purpose processors and four graphics processors,
the Mission Processor (MP) is the cornerstone for Block III Apache and
provides the basis for implementation of SoSCOE and FCS for the Apache. The
Central Mission Processor (CMP) features an open systems architecture with
the leverage of commercial, off-the-shelf products that provides Army
aviation with a high performance, scalable and maintainable platforms for
future applications that require the full performance necessary for next
generation computing capabilities. The central mission processor/mission
processor architecture is scaleable and suited for multiple platforms,
providing advanced general and display processing for current and future
needs where SoSCOE and FCS is planned.
6" x 6" High Resolution (Active Matrix Liquid Crystal Display) AMLCD
The 6" x 6" AMLCD display functions as a primary flight display offering
the high brightness and contrast, excellent resolution, readability and
clarity required in the open configuration of a cockpit. Its outstanding
characteristics include 8:1 contrast ratio in full sunlight with a brightness
of 240 foot-Lamberts (fL), fully night vision goggles (NGV) compatible for
night mode operation. With a display area of 6.17" x 6.17", the compact AMLCD
is designed to conserve valuable space without sacrificing performance. The
display offers a very flexible video interface supporting multiple analog and
digital video channels and multiple serial data links such as RS-422 and
discretes. Low weight, small volume and light construction are major
advantages of the display.
STORM Unmanned Aircraft System - Presented by UAS Dynamics
The STORM UAS offers an industry-leading payload capacity. It is designed
to meet the dynamic operational environment and expeditionary requirements of
the Department of Defense and other potential U.S. government customers.
STORM's flexible design offers multiple launch and recovery methods that can
be tailored to the environment and physical constraints common in austere
combat outposts. STORM has a single mission endurance of 18 hours with a 30
pound payload, and. has the capability to carry a maximum of 75 pounds of
payload to support the needs of the mission. The system's flexibility
increases situational awareness, targeting capability and overall lethality.
Key functions such as mission payload operation are automated and blended
with standard flight modes to increase mission effectiveness while reducing
operator workload and skill level requirements. While most other systems
require an air vehicle operator and a mission payload operator, the STORM
system only needs one operator while simultaneously increasing overall system
effectiveness and operator efficiency.
A family of thermal imaging systems including:
KAT EYE(TM) MR Surveillance System
The KAT EYE(TM) system is a high-performance, highly-mobile and easy to
emplace Medium Range Day/Night Wireless Surveillance System using a cutting
edge day camera and a cooled, highly sensitive 640x480 InSb Focal Plane Array
thermal camera with 8X continuous optical zoom. The system is image
stabilized and has automatic tracking of targets. The basic system consists
of a Base Station and one Remote Station which can be emplaced up to 5 Km
away for wireless operation or within 500m for fiber optic operation. A
single Base Station can monitor and control up to four (4) Remote Stations.
The system can be powered by generator, batteries, solar (supplemental
power), or vehicle power.
Coral-CR
Featured in the video, the Coral-CR is a high-performance, tripod mounted
or hand-held Long Range Day/Night Thermal Imaging System using a cutting edge
camera and a cooled, highly sensitive 640x512 InSb Focal Plane Array thermal
camera with continuous optical zoom, as well as 4X digital zoom. The Laser
Range Finder, digital magnetic compass, and global positioning system allow
generation of target coordinates to 10Km. The Coral-CR also supports video
out via standard BNC connector.
MARS
Also featured in the video is MARS. Mars is an uncooled hand-held thermal
imager with target acquisition capabilities. This lightweight, compact system
