June 10, 2015 by Elbit Systems
Elbit Systems will present a wide range of innovative next generation systems at the upcoming 51th Paris Air Show, set to take place in Le Bourget, from June 15 – 21, 2015. Visitors to the company’s booth (Chalet A-200, booth and outdoor display area A-8) will have an excellent opportunity to view new products and displays of the Company’s core technologies and cutting-edge solutions.
The following will be presented in the Company’s booth:
Military Avionics and Aircraft Upgrades
The SuperVisionTM Concept generates a conformal image of the world outside the cockpit, as well as the aircraft systems, surroundings and threats, while simultaneously fusing together the various layers of information. Harsh environment and weather conditions, in conjunction with the immense flow of information during the flight, call for an intuitive display of flight and visual data.
This strategy creates an innovative solution that reduces the pilots' workload and allows them to focus on the successful completion of their mission, while flying “Head-Up” in any terrain and in all visibility conditions.
New Launch - BrightNite™ is a solution that enables utility helicopters to successfully perform Degraded Visual Environment (DVE) missions in more than 90% of the nights and provides them with piloting capabilities of attack helicopters and enables a new level of operational flight.
New Capabilities - Digital JHMCS is a lightweight and comfortable head mounted display (HMD), provided by RCEVS, a joint venture with Rockwell Collins. Offering an improved HMD Center of Gravity (CG) and balance and thus reducing neck strains, DJHMCS is plug and play, with minimal installation requirements and the ability to operate with the aircraft's current tracker and Electronic Unit. DJHMCS can replace legacy JHMCS equipment with no A/C modifications required, thus reducing life cycle costs. DJHMCS offers advanced video and color capabilities in both day and night missions using a modern, lightweight, well-balanced digital HMD system. The system’s proven symbology, combined with color, creates a superior solution that provides intelligent vision in the cockpit. It provides immediate and accurate recognition of friendly, threat and unknown targets and areas to create a complete view of the air, ground and sea picture. This is accomplished with sophisticated software that integrates accurate intelligence with images, video and sound. The technological upgrade dramatically reduces the logistic and maintenance requirements.
C-Suite Tactical solution for C-130 aircraft is a flexible, modular solution created to effectively perform under the harsh and demanding conditions created by low altitude tactical environments. Providing accurate, real-time information projected on the Head-Up, Head-Down or Helmet Mounted displays, the C-Suite Tactical solution enables a safer and more precise mission as well as increased situational awareness.
CockpitNGTM 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 a smooth and customizable manner.
Large Area Display (LAD) is a unique large area display, dual redundant, touch-screen enabled and featuring a wide dimming range for night vision goggle compatibility at low luminance levels. All products in this line are smart integrated modular avionics (IMA) displays that can host software applications from either Elbit Systems, customer legacy software or third-party software.
Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) and Electro-Option (EO) Payloads
New Launch - SkylarkTM I-LEX is a new generation of the legacy Skylark I-LE mini-UAS, man-portable electric propelled, best fitted for organic “beyond the next hill” reconnaissance, counter insurgency and force protection missions, as well as civil applications including perimeter security, border and coastal surveillance, anti-terror and a variety of law enforcement missions. The Skylark I-LEX is already operational as the standard battalion level UAS of the Israeli Land Forces and has accumulated thousands of operational sorties.
In the outdoor display area (#A8), the HermesTM 900 medium altitude long endurance (MALE) UAS will be showcased, equipped with a wide range of highly advanced payloads for a variety of missions.
The Hermes 900 UAS can be equipped with a variety of high performance sensors in a plug-and-play concept, allowing it to detect ground or maritime targets, over a wide spectral range. Providing over the horizon, persistent multi-payload capabilities, Hermes 900 is based on the proven and mature building blocks of Elbit Systems’ Hermes family, setting the highest levels of airworthiness, safety and reliability. This MALE UAS has been procured by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and additional international users.
PAYLOADS for UAS:

The multi-sensor system is designed for long-range surveillance and targeting functions for UAS, helicopters, fixed-wing, maritime and ground platforms.
Advanced Multi-sensor Payload System (AMPS) is a dynamic target detection and recognition payload for strategic ISTAR at standoff ranges. A highly stabilized EO payload, AMPS delivers excellent day and night ISTAR capabilities, facilitated by autonomous navigation with inertial system and GPS.
EMERALD–AES212 is a modular Airborne ESM/ELINT system for comprehensive radar detection for all types of manned and unmanned aircraft platforms. Designed for the densest and most complex electromagnetic environments, it meets the rapidly evolving needs of today's modern battlefields. The system delivers sophisticated intelligence gathering capabilities for the detection and analysis of all types of radars - ground-based, airborne and shipboard.
COMINT/DF Systems are operational and battle-proven, designed as modular building blocks, capable of tackling various types of communication systems and able to fit any unmanned aircraft system (UAS). These systems utilize wideband multi-purpose receivers and meet the requirements of any EW/SIGINT payload, offering tactical intelligence reception in real time over wide rural and urban areas with precise DF, and enabling digital audio-recording.
COMJAM is a battle proven, modular, flexible, standalone, future-ready configuration of customizable, interoperable and interconnected airborne communications jamming (COMJAM) payload components for UAS. The system manages multiple frequency sub-bands, predefined threats list, and priority jamming with automatic or manual operation.
