Also participating in the exhibition is the subsidiary of Elbit Systems in the Emirates (ESE), which works to expand cooperation with local entities and adapt the systemic solutions to operational requirements and customer needs in the region. ESE plays an important role in transferring technology to local partners, in order to advance the maintenance and technical support capabilities of the company’s products.
President of Elbit Systems Bezalel Machlis: The Abraham agreements form a solid basis for business cooperation in this region. We are sure that Elbit’s proven experience in creating collaborations with the local industry, along with a wide portfolio of advanced systems, one of the world’s leading, provide a solid infrastructure that provides a response to the challenges and opportunities in these markets. The subsidiary company – Elbit Emirates Systems works to develop long-term collaborations and adaptation of technological solutions to the needs and challenges of the countries of the region.
Elbit Systems will present a wide range of operational solutions through visual and interactive displays in several areas of activity, including:
HattoriX system
The HattoriX system, an accurate and fast, undetectable target acquisition system. The HattoriXTM system allows the field teams to produce accurate landmarks quickly and undetected with simple and intuitive operation.
The HattoriX system, a new portable target acquisition and fire control system designed for light maneuver forces. The system allows for the first time forward observers, artillery cooperation officers, fire support officers and special forces, to produce accurate waypoints (NZMD = accuracy of a few meters to produce accurate waypoints) quickly and passively. The HattoriX system, which was developed by Alsek Meshderot and is already in operational use by a client whose identity cannot be revealed, is a leap forward in terms of the effectiveness of target acquisition by field teams, in that it significantly improves the teams’ survivability, increases the effectiveness of acquiring targets with a short exposure time, and reduces the The potential for collateral damage.
The HattoriX system interfaces with any electro-optical telescope and its components include an electronic leveling and elevation unit, a mission computer, a touch screen, and a lightweight tripod. The system has several configurations, including a remotely controlled configuration that provides an even higher level of survivability to the observation force. Users of the system are forward observation teams, artillery engagement teams, fire support teams, air support teams, reconnaissance and intelligence teams, and special forces.
RAMPAGE missile
RAMPAGE – a long-range attack missile, designed for precise hitting of a wide variety of quality targets. The missile has the ability to operate in all weather conditions, day and night, with easy operation, without a “man in the circle”. The missile can be carried on a wide variety of Western and Eastern aircraft.
The RAMPAGE missile is a “counterweapon” – a weapon that is dropped from a long range, outside the area protected by anti-aircraft missiles (missile protected area). It is equipped with a warhead, a rocket engine and an advanced navigation suit that enable the execution of the mission of attacking high-quality and well-protected targets with maximum precision.
The shrekarek – wandering armament
The sherkarak is a paddle armament with a fully autonomous capability that allows for locating, acquiring a target, and hitting accurately with a ten kg warhead, mounted in the body of the armament. The efficient aerodynamic configuration allows for prolonged flight, high maneuverability and a high level of accuracy and precision. The electric drive gives the tool a low acoustic signature that allows covert action over the target area, and achieving surprise
which gives a critical advantage on the modern battlefield.
Expansion on the systems presented at the exhibition
Precision guided weaponry
Elbit Systems develops and manufactures rocket and missile weapon systems for a variety of ranges:
These systems include a mobile universal launch system (PULS) that enables the launch of rockets in different diameters, made by Elbit and made by foreign countries, including accurate artillery rockets for ranges from 35 and 150 to 300 km (ACULAR, EXTRA, PREDATOR HAWK). The rocket armament family also includes the RAMPAGE, a supersonic, long-range (150 km) and accurate attack missile, with high survivability that allows air forces great operational flexibility in attacking high-quality targets.
battle heads
Elbit Systems serves as the Israeli center for knowledge and excellence in the development of warheads. Therefore, many Israeli defense companies incorporate the knowledge of Elbit Systems in their weapon systems. This unique expertise allows the company to offer a variety of warheads in response to the needs defined by the end user, in accordance with the dimensions of the armament, the effectiveness of the required effect and other characteristics. The extensive knowledge and experience gained by the company allows it to meet the exact requirements of the end user. Elbit Systems offers bombs adapted to advanced warheads weighing 250, 500 and 1000 kg, including the MPR family of weapons
which combines a spray effect and maximum head for high lethality, while reducing collateral damage in the target’s vicinity.
Remotely manned aircraft
Elbit Systems offers a variety of remotely piloted vehicles (UAVs) that include tools for the tactical level such as Skylark and Skylark 3 up to the Hermes 900, which is considered the most advanced MALE (long range, medium altitude) UAV in the world. Elbit System’s Hermes 900 is equipped with a variety of high-performance sensors,
which enables detection of land or sea targets, in a wide spectral range. The Hermes 900 is based on reliable and proven building blocks developed over the generations of the Hermes family, enabling the UAV to operate far beyond the horizon, with operational competence and high reliability, and to perform long types of missions with a wide variety of payloads. The Hermes 900 is currently in service with the IDF and more than 20 armies in the world.
Simulators and training systems
Elbit Systems offers training and simulation systems for aircraft, land systems and marine platforms, for training fighters and operators. These systems have been operational for more than 20 years in the service of many armies around the world. Elbit Systems provides a variety of training solutions, which are linked together to provide integrated action capability and the simulation of complex combat scenarios, which require integration and coordination between several teams as an essential element for the success of the training. Such solutions provide a training solution from the warrior level to the training of teams and task forces, the integration of units simulated by the system, through modeling capabilities, and advanced simulation, enables network-based training of integrated forces on a wide scale.
SkyBreaker
A Networked Training Center for Mission Training (MTC) provides realistic training on a simulated battlefield, using a variety of aircraft and scenarios that simulate complex missions, to train, practice and improve the capabilities of aircrews at all levels. The mission training center replaces training flights with large structures and contributes to a great saving in flight hours, while providing a high operational value for each training hour. The array was developed based on the knowledge and direction of pilots with a lot of operational experience, and a network of several cockpits in a computerized synthetic environment, which simulates forces in an operational environment. In this way, the system activates a complex mission, which allows a large number of air crews to practice at the squadron level, in all the features of modern air combat. The modular system is based on an open architecture and enables connectivity at the operational level and a link to other training systems, to operate distributed task training solutions on a large scale, while activating thousands of entities, using advanced artificial intelligence (AI) in the stages of mission planning, training, practice, execution and investigation.
