HAIFA, Israel, June 18 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Elbit Systems Ltd. (NASDAQ: ESLT - News) announced that it has been awarded two contracts, in a total amount of approximately $14 million to supply Aviator's Night Vision Imaging System/Head-Up Displays (ANVIS/HUD(TM)) for helicopters of two NATO member countries.
The ANVIS/HUD(TM) system employs cutting edge technologies to provide the most advanced system of its kind, offering a 24/7 significant increase in situational awareness and safety by allowing the pilot to fly "head out of the cockpit" during night operations and projecting critical flight information into the night vision goggles' view. This system has been in operational use by U.S. Army, U.S. Navy / U.S. Marine Corps and U.S. Air Force rotary wing pilots since the mid-1990's and is installed on numerous utility and special operations helicopter fleet platforms, including the UH-60, CH-53 CH-47, CH-46, AH-1, UH-1, V-22, Super Puma, Cougar and others. The Elbit Systems Group has equipped more than 5,000 helicopters, for more than 20 countries, with ANVIS/HUD(TM) systems.
Yoram Shmuely, Corporate Vice President and General Manager of Elbit Systems' Airborne and Helmet Systems Division said: "The selection of our systems for this project attests to Elbit Systems' leadership in the field of helmet and heads-Up display systems. The ANVIS/HUD(TM) system was developed to fully comply with NATO and U.S. military requirements allowing NATO pilots to safely and effectively execute their various missions in both day and night conditions."
Up to date, Elbit Systems delivered over 5,000 ANVIS/HUD(TM) systems to over 20 countries worldwide.
The JSF (F-35), considered the most advanced tactical fighter jet of its kind, is equipped with Elbit Systems' US subsidiary - VSI's helmet system. In recent weeks, the aircraft's manufacturers, Lockheed Martin, conducted a number of successful test flights using this helmet system.
