Elbit Systems Of America To Supply Components
The U.S. Army Contracting Command has awarded a 5-year, $68
million Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (ID/IQ) contract to
Elbit Systems of America to supply the U.S.Army, Navy, Marine Corps
and Coast Guard with AN/AVS-7 Head-Up Display components including
the latest Elbit Systems of America Flat Panel Day and Night
Head-Up Display units.
Initial delivery orders totaling $23M have been awarded under
the new ID/IQ contract. This is a follow-on contract to a $75M
ID/IQ contract awarded in September 2005.
The new display units increase situational awareness and safety
by allowing pilots to fly "head out of the cockpit" during day and
night operations. They are a plug and play upgrade to the legacy
SU-180/AVS-7 Display units. The SU-180/AVS-7 Display units have
been in operational use by United States Army, Navy, Marines and
Air Force rotary wing pilots since the mid-1990's and is installed
on most US military utility and cargo helicopter platforms,
including the UH-60L, CH-53E, CH-47D, CH-46, H-1, V-22 and
others.

"This follow-on order attests to our customer's satisfaction
with our systems and performance track record," said Elbit Systems
of America President and CEO, Raanan Horowitz. "Elbit Systems of
America is pleased to provide cutting-edge technology for the
warfighter, delivering high quality Helmet Mounted Displays at an
accelerated pace, supporting critical missions and needs. The
AN/AVS-7 has proven itself by providing situational awareness and
added safety to Army aviators on all U.S. Army helicopter platforms
and we are proud we can provide now an upgrade to these
systems."
