U.S. Army Awards Elbit Systems of America Contract for Common Helmet Mounted Display

FORT WORTH, Texas, March 5, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Elbit Systems of America, LLC, (NASDAQ: ESLT) (TASE: ESLT), was recently awarded a five-year Indefinite Delivery/ Indefinite Quantity contract by the United States Army to provide a wide field of view Common Helmet Mounted Display (CHMD) system. Work will be performed in Fort Worth, Texas, with deliveries starting within 15 months.

This full color CHMD will be part of the U.S. Army's Air Soldier System, used by helicopter flight crews to provide day and night enhanced situational awareness and survivability in all flight conditions. It will be fully-integrated into the Elbit Systems' Helmet Display and Tracker System used onboard the U.S. Army's CH-47F Chinook and the UH-60L/M/V Black Hawk fleets.

"Our CHMD provides advanced capabilities for Army aviators," stated Raanan Horowitz, President And Chief Executive Officer of Elbit Systems of America. "Our solution ensures pilots experience crisp, clear and accurate symbology, which provides critical information during flight and a decisive edge in mission effectiveness."

With a low-cost, rapid repair and support infrastructure, the CHMD program reflects a lifecycle sustainment approach that ensures combat readiness for the U.S. Army.

The Common Helmet Mounted Display system is production-ready and pilot-tested. It is next generation technology – a result of Elbit Systems of America's more than two decades of Helmet Mounted Display (HMD) development and production experience.

For more than 25 years, the employees of Elbit Systems of America have performed high-quality work knowing that it protects and saves lives. In addition to providing HMDs and an array of advanced situational awareness solutions, the company also provides capabilities for our nation's border patrol agents, commercial pilots, sustainment and support solutions, as well as life-saving medical instrumentation technologies.
