Elbit Systems of America to Support ANVIS HUD for Army Helicopter Pilots

: Oct 13, 2020 - : 3:38 am

The Defense Logistics Agency has awarded Elbit Systems of America a five-year firm-fixed price, indefinite  delivery/indefinite-quantity contract with a maximum value of about  US$50 million for the production of spare parts in support of the Aviators’ Night Vision Imaging System/Head-Up Display system (ANVIS HUD) for the US Army .

An initial order for $17.9 million was recently placed under this contract to be supplied until 2023.

The ANVIS HUD is Elbit Systems of America’s current day and night display that connects to the helmets of Army helicopter pilots. The system presents important information in front of the pilot’s eyes, such as altitude, speed and heading. The ANVIS HUD allows the pilot’s head to remain upright and looking out of the aircraft, with all applicable information presented before their eye, instead of looking down or inside the cockpit to view information from various sensors.

“Provisioning ANVIS HUD spares ensures U.S. Army pilots always have the equipment available to support aircraft readiness,” said Raanan Horowitz, President and CEO of Elbit Systems of America. “Our company has a long history of supplying the ANVIS HUD and we’re dedicated to continuing to supply these systems that aid performance, increase operator situational awareness, and ultimately Warfighter safety.”

Elbit Systems of America produces and sustains all of the U.S. Army’s helmet mounted displays in the UH-60, CH-47, and AH-64 fleets and recently won the Common Helmet Mounted Display program to begin upgrading the display on select U.S. Army airframes.
