Elbit Systems US unit gets US$50 Million deal for night vision systems

Elbit Systems announced that its US subsidiary, Elbit Systems of America, was awarded an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite-Quantity (ID/IQ) contract with a maximum value of approximately US$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 US$17.9 million was recently placed under this contract, to be supplied until 2023. The ANVIS HUD is a day and night display system that connects to the helmets of Army helicopter pilots, allowing the pilots’ heads to remain upright and looking out of the aircraft, with all applicable information presented in front of the pilots’ eyes, instead of looking down or inside the cockpit to view information from various sensors.
