A broad spectrum of Elbit Systems' innovative solutions designed for the changing requirements of the defence and commercial aviation industries are on display at the Farnborough International Air Show 2014. The company’s exhibition (booth C-14, Hall 1) focuses on advanced next-generation airborne solutions for pilot situational awareness (SA) and enhanced flight protection and safety. An array of cutting-edge solutions for commercial aviation are showcased alongside avionic systems, advanced electronic warfare (EW), electro-optics (EO) and unmanned systems, demonstrating leadership in the company's core business areas.
Packed in a lightweight, easy-to-install device, as intuitive as a pair of sunglasses, SKYLENS is a revolutionary approach for today’s aviators’ challenges. Operational in all weather conditions, day and night, SKYLENS provides head-up information and minimises dependency on airport instrumentation. SKYLENS is part of the ClearvisionEFVS family, displaying high-resolution information, images and video on a high transparency visor, providing superior see-through transmission.
SkyVis is a new system combining a proven HMD with commercially certifiable LOS technology and daytime HUD capabilities. SkyVis day or night system offers enhanced situational awareness and enables “Eyes Out” operations, with or without NVG, during all phases of flight, in marginal weather conditions without compromising safety.
One of the world leaders in enhanced vision systems, Elbit Systems’ multi-spectral helicopter EVS is an optimised version, based on ClearVision EVS for fixed-wing business jets. Heli EVS enables improved SA and provides the benefit of operational credit. Employing sophisticated fusion algorithms and a range of spectral bands, the EVS offers a 35° Field of View (FOV) and is designed to cope with fog and low visibility conditions.
Elbit Systems' Mission Training Center (MTC) is considered among the most advanced training centers in the world. The system enables training in various mission scenarios in varying war zones and in the relevant threat environment of each war zone. The center has been established by Elbit Systems and is operated through a PFI (Private Financing Initiative) concept.
Elbit Systems CockpitNG is based on a smart central large area display (LAD) which includes all avionic components in one suite, fully integrated with the Helmet Mounted and Head-Up Displays. All of the systems' components were developed in a "Multi-touch-Screen" technology, allowing pilots to operate the aircraft in the most smooth and customisable manner.
TARGO Helmet Mounted Avionics (HMA) and EVA (Embedded Virtual Avionics) is a unique combination for a fully embedded training experience. Targo enables pilots to plan, rehearse, fly and debrief using their personal helmets. Installing EVA on a basic or advanced trainer aircraft transforms the aircraft into a virtual advanced fighter while maintaining the hourly training costs of a trainer. The EVA virtual avionics suite combined with TARGO is designed to shorten the large training gap existing today between trainer and modern fighter aircraft.
IFEWS (In-Flight Electronic Warfare Simulator) - enables maximised operational readiness to support compliance with the requirements of modern battlefield environment variables. IFEWS implementation and deployment minimizes the need for EW range build-up, range upgrades and ongoing maintenance. A deployed IFEWS system provides an advanced training solution, which can be utilized wherever and whenever it is required.
C-MUSIC (Multi-Spectral Infrared Countermeasure system) is a pod-mounted direct infra-red countermeasures (DIRCM) system specifically designed to protect large jet aircraft from infrared missile threats. The pod integrates advanced fiber laser and thermal imaging technologies to deflect shoulder-fired IR missiles (MANPADS) from their intended target. C-MUSIC has been selected by the Israeli Ministry of Transportation as the protection suite for all Israel's commercial airlines. J-MUSIC is a high-performance DIRCM system for protection of aircraft against MANPADS, designed for distributed installation on a wide variety of medium to large platforms, with single or multi-turret configuration. Mini-MUSIC is the newest member in Elbit Systems Intelligence and Electro-optics Elop's MUSIC family of proven DIRCM systems. Lightweight and compact, mini-MUSIC is easily installed on small and medium rotary and fixed-wing platforms.
An airborne COMJAM system, SKYJAM is modular, flexible, and configured to handle emerging threats. The system can manage multiple frequency sub-bands prepared with predefined threat lists and jamming priorities.
A compact fully featured, lightweight, high-precision and modular airborne COMINT/DF system, SKYFIXis designed to meet the full range of UAS tactical and strategic mission requirements.
Elbit Systems’ UAS have earned international recognition and play increasingly vital roles in the global war on terrorism. The company's UAS are the backbone of the Israel Defense Forces and other world leading Armed Forces. The following UAS are showcased in Hologram format:
HERMES 900: A next generation medium altitude long endurance (MALE) UAS, offering persistent, multi-mission, multi-payload capabilities with class leading payload carrying capacity
HERMES 450: A high performance, deployable, mature, reliable, high capacity, long endurance, multi-payload multi-role tactical UAS
Family of Intelligence and EW Systems for Cellular Communications that can effectively scan areas of interest; monitor, locate, and identify potential threats; construct cellular target maps; intercept target devices and selectively jam and manipulate cellular communications. These systems are designed for Special Forces in military, law enforcement and intelligence units.
EMERALD (AES-210) is a fully-featured airborne ESM/ELINT system for the modern air force ensuring mission-readiness in the most challenging scenarios. Incorporating Elbits Systems EW and SIGNINT Elisra’s field-driven innovations and proven technologies, Emerald delivers the intelligence critical for effective prevention, fast response and powerful impact. The Emerald is installable on a variety of platforms for numerous applications.
iSNS Immune Satellite Navigation System is a highly effective GPS ECCM system that ensures reliable, non-stop GPS operation, provides full jamming immunity for multiple satellite channels and handles multiple interfering signals and/or jammers operating on concurrent frequencies.
