Elbit Systems of America showcasing the JHMCS II and Embedded Training at Air Force Association Air Warfare Symposium and Technology Exposition
Providing Airman the Mission Advantage
FORT WORTH, Texas, February 19, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --
Recognizing the pilot's need for situational awareness and advanced training, Elbit
Systems of America, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Elbit Systems Ltd., is showcasing
its innovative solutions in booth #322 during the 30th Annual Air Force Association Air
Warfare and Technology Exposition in Orlando, Florida, February 19-21, 2014.
JHMCS II is the next generation Joint Helmet Mounted Cueing System (JHMCS) from the
joint venture of Elbit Systems of America and Rockwell Collins. Featuring more
intelligence and capabilities than its predecessor, the JHMCS II provides pilot
intelligent vision, enhanced situational awareness across the entire battle space during
day and night operations, and uses high definition, color symbology while keeping the
pilot's head up and eyes out. For over 15 years, the JHMCS has been a combat-proven,
helmet-mounted display choice for fixed-wing aircraft, including the F/A-18, F-16, and
F-15. The JHMCS II was developed to meet the needs of the modern military aircrew and
provides a superior level of situational awareness. "Pilots flying with JHMCS II will have
a decided advantage when they observe, orient, decide and act," said Mark Hodge, Vice
President Business Development of Elbit Systems of America, LLC. "We worked alongside
warfighters to create a superior system that improves information access."
To assist in preparing the pilots for combat, Elbit Systems of America's Embedded
Virtual Avionics (EVA[TM]) provides live, virtual, constructive (LVC) training making
every sortie an training opportunity. EVA transforms trainer aircraft into an advanced
virtual fighter aircraft and provides fighter aircraft with virtual air and ground
adversaries. "Pilots in the trainer are able to see, operate, and experience functional
weapon systems while our fighter pilots get to train in challenging scenarios free from
range, threat and adversary aircraft scheduling constraints," commented Hodge. "Because
training is conducted in a virtual environment, training effectiveness increases and cost
decrease." An advanced, proven solution, EVA is integrated with numerous mission computers
installed on the world's leading trainer aircraft.
Both the JHMCSII and EVA will be on display during the expo. For more information,
