FORT WORTH, Texas. Elbit Systems of America has garnered an additional component contract worth $31.5 million from the Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime to provide Aviator Night Vision Imaging System Head-Up Displays (ANVIS HUD). Work on the systems will be performed over a two-year period.
The ANVIS HUD -- used for both day and night missions on U.S. Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, and Coast Guard rotary platforms -- provides navigation and system symbology to pilots without having to reference internal instruments.
This display system reduces the pilot's workload and improves situational awareness, enabling military aviators to operate their craft effectively and safely in low-light or degraded visual environments.
