Elbit Systems' US Unit Wins $31.5 Mln 2-year Contract For ANVIS HUD

(RTTNews) - Elbit Systems of America, LLC, the US unit of technology company Elbit Systems Ltd. (ESLT), announced Tuesday that it was awarded a $31.5 million additional component contract by the Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime. The contract is to provide Aviator Night Vision Imaging System Head-Up Displays or ANVIS HUD. Work will be performed over a two-year period.

The company said the ANVIS HUD is used for both day and night missions on U.S. Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, and Coast Guard rotary platforms. The helmet mounted display system provides navigation and system symbology to pilots without having to reference internal instruments. This reduces the pilot's workload and improves situational awareness.

Each ANVIS HUD helps aviators operate effectively and safely during low-light, degraded visual environments.
