Elbit to integrate JHMCS II onboard AC-130W aircraft
Elbit Systems of America has entered into a USSOCOM-funded NAVSEA Crane contract through its RCEVS joint venture with Rockwell Collins to integrate the Joint Helmet Mounted Cueing System (JHMCS) II onboard the AC-130W aircraft. The contract was announced on 19 May.
The contract is the first JHMCS II integration effort in the US for military cargo aircraft. The integration will take place over the next two years and add will new capabilities to the AC-130 platform.
The JHMCS II is based on technology that combines colour symbology in day and night modes. It provides visor-projected video and is designed to reduce pilot fatigue, particularly during long-duration missions that are common to the AC-130.
Raanan Horowitz, president and CEO, Elbit Systems of America, said: 'The JHMCS II system features the most innovative head-tracking technologies available, giving pilots increased situational awareness no matter what direction he or she is looking.
'The intelligent vision in the cockpit gives pilots immediate and accurate recognition of friendly, threat, and unknown targets. With this awareness, AC-130 pilots flying with the JHMCS II will have a decided advantage.'
