The
following will be featured in the Elbit Systems of America
exhibit:
Bradley
Mortar Vehicle and FireCon Mortar Fire Control System-Dismounted
Elbit Systems of America invites you to experience the FireCon
Mortar Fire Control System-Dismounted (MFCS-D), mounted
on the Bradley Mortar Vehicle, one of the most lethal combat
vehicles in the field. The Bradley Mortar Vehicle on display
at the Elbit Systems of America booth features immediate,
indirect fire support for armored and mechanized battalions
and armored cavalry squadrons. It provides enhanced survivability,
increased speed and maintainability and improved interconnectivity.
Mounted on the Bradley will be the MFCS-D, an Elbit Systems
of America solution to a U.S. Army designed fire control
system for the 120mm towed mortar. MFCS-D 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

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™ MR Surveillance System
The KAT EYE™ 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.

Integrated
auto-routing Radio Communication System (IRCS)
From command posts to front-line soldiers, the Elbit
Systems of America Integrated auto-routing Radio Communication
System (IRCS) is an advanced military communication
system that enables military personnel to directly communicate
with one another across one network using multiple platforms.
With IRCS, you will have reliable operational coordination,
command and control, and an overall complete picture
of the operations and events a mile or thousands of
miles away. All IRCS management functions can be performed
from almost every location, and affect any communication
device and element within the system, down to the last
radio transceiver. At a touch of a button, all the devices
within the IRCS can be adjusted and updated –
simultaneously or one by one. IRCS does away with the
slow and cumbersome communication chains associated
with legacy military networks, providing fast, automatic
and direct operational connectivity.
