Elbit’s two deals
Elbit Systems, has been awarded two contracts worth a total of $14million to supply its aviator’s night vision imaging system and head-up displays (HUD) for helicopters to two NATO nations.
"The selection of our systems for this project attests to Elbit Systems’ leadership in helmet and HUD systems,” says Yoram Shmuely, corporate vice president and general manager of Elbit Systems airborne and helmet systems division.
The system helps raise situational awareness by allowing the pilot to fly head-out-of-the-cockpit during night operations by projecting critical flight information into the night vision goggles.
