Elbit Systems Offers COTS Solutions Optimal for Upgrading Military Platforms
Leveraging its strong position in the aircraft upgrade market and the recent acquisition of Universal Avionics (UA), Elbit Systems showcases an offering of commercial systems for military upgrade programmes.
Defence budgets constraints and a widening requirement to comply with civilian airspace regulations drive a growing demand for commercial cockpit solutions for military platform upgrades. Cost efficiencies, shorter time to market and full compliance with Communications, Navigation, and Surveillance/Air Traffic Management (CNS/ATM) regulations make Commercial of the Shelf (COTS) avionics optimal for upgrading military platforms.
Addressing these growing needs, Elbit Systems, together with its wholly owned subsidiary UA, presents its new portfolio of COTS CNS/ATM compliant solutions for upgrading Para-military and military aircraft including helicopters, transporters and special mission aircraft.
The offering showcased in the company booth #1354 (hall 1) at Farnborough International Airshow (FIA) includes UA’s Flight Management Systems (FMS), Primary Flight Display system and communication systems alongside Elbit Systems’ Enhanced Flight Vision Systems (EFVS), Head-Up Display (HUD) and wearable HUD product line.
“Our leadership in the field of upgrading military platforms our technological edge in the commercial aviation area together with UA’s portfolio, enable us to promote this unique offering that is optimally suited to address the evolving market trends,” Yoram Shmuely, EVP and General Manager of Elbit Systems’ Aerospace Division commented.
