Elbit Systems of America awarded $50-million US Army contract

The contract comes with a maximum value of approximately $50 million to produce spare parts in support of the Aviators’ Night Vision Imaging System Head-Up Display system (ANVIS HUD) of the US Army.

The contract, which will be performed over a period of five years, was awarded on behalf of the US Army, by the Defense Logistics Agency.

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

A convenient day and night display for pilots

The ANVIS HUD is a day and night display system that connects to the helmets of Army helicopter pilots, allowing the pilot’s head to remain upright and looking out of the aircraft, with all applicable information presented in front of the pilot’s eyes, instead of them having to look down or inside the cockpit to view information from various sensors.

Raanan Horowitz, President and CEO of Elbit Systems of America, said: “Provisioning ANVIS HUD spares enables US Army pilots to have the equipment available to support aircraft readiness. Elbit Systems of America has a long history of supplying the ANVIS HUD, and we are dedicated to continuing to supply these systems that aid performance, increase operator situational awareness, and ultimately, war-fighter safety.”
