New Generation of Tactical Radio E-LynX™

As part of the project “Telekommunikation der Armee” the Swiss Armed Forces are replacing obsolete radios and related equipment. Elbit Systems was awarded a contract to provide the Swiss Armed Forces with an Army-wide tactical mobile Software Defined Radio (“SDR”) network solution. The digital mobile network solution to be provided is based on the E-LynXTM family of open architecture SDR, enabling fast, reliable and secure communication across the Swiss Armed Forces. The E-LynX family of mobile tactical radio solutions is designed to meet the wide-ranging and complex communication needs of the modern battlefield. Offering operational flexibility with multiple configuration options,...

Integrated Artillery Command and Fire Control System (INTAFF)

The Integrated Artillery Command and Fire Control System (INTAFF) enables an almost instantaneous exchange of data in the overall artillery system. This significantly accelerates the process flows, and the information is available to all involved in an up-to-date and transparent form. The focus is on the fire control and fire direction process, from the firing commander to the fire control center. The fire control center is the artillery nerve center of the brigade. In addition to the actual fire control and fire direction process, the logistics process and the exchange of orders and messages are also made possible via INTAFF....

Joint Helmet Mounted Cueing System

The Joint Helmet Mounted Cueing System (JHMCS) is a product of CEVS, a joint venture between Elbit Systems and Raytheon Technologies’ Collins Aerospace. The JHMCS provides the pilot with “first look, first shoot” high off-boresight weapons engagement capabilities. The system, also available in a night configuration, enables the pilot to accurately cue onboard weapons and sensors against enemy aircraft and ground targets without the need to aggressively turn the aircraft or place the target in the Head-Up Display (HUD) for designation. Critical information and symbology such as targeting cues and aircraft performance parameters are graphically displayed directly on the pilot’s...
