Combat Vehicles Systems Introduction
Elbit Systems’ advanced combat vehicle systems are designed to enhance the mission-readiness of crews operating tanks and armored vehicles.
See-through-Armor (STA) is a revolutionary , panoramic observation system, enabling operators to understand and experience their environment from a single image. Using algorithms that electronically join imagery collected by video cameras installed around the vehicle, the STA provides a seamless 360-degree real-time panoramic view. Elbit Systems’ legacy “head-up, eyes-out” aerial technology to the closed hatched armored vehicle environment, IronVision generates an image that enables the crew to “see through” armored shields, helping them overcome inherent visibility limitations, while improving mission efficiency and safety. Real-time, zero latency, high-resolution video is transmitted to the Helmet-Mounted Displays (HMD), providing the crew with a natural, conformal view of the vehicle surroundings. In addition, Elbit Systems offers Comprehensive Protection for Fighting Vehicles with 360-degree coverage that supports effective and timely responses to laser and radar-guided threats.
Elbit Systems’ Laser Warning System (E-LAWS) and Threat Detection System (TDS) accurately detect, categorize and pinpoint laser sources such as rangefinders, designators, beam riders, infrared illuminators and trainers. In addition to laser sources, the Multi-Threat Detection
System (MTDS) detects, categorizes and pinpoints radar/RF sources. These systems offer an accurate angle of arrival (AoA), high-detection probability and low false-alarm rate.
A sophisticated suite of fully integrated Fire Control Systems (FCS) offer unparalleled performance in battlefield conditions, featuring long-range, day and night, on-the-move high first-round hit probability against moving targets. Reliable, cost-effective and easily configurable to a wide variety of AFVs and MBTs, the systems range from simplified FCS for one-man light turrets to high-performance hunter-killer FCS for front-line MBTs.
The Electric Gun and Turret Drive System (EGTDS) significantly enhances turret stabilization and firing on-the-move. The system provides smooth target tracking at high-speeds and in all firing positions, even for heavy guns and turrets. In addition, the system improves safety by eliminating the need for the highly flammable hydraulic fluid used in conventional systems. The Driver Thermal Vision System comprises a thermal imaging camera based on an uncooled detector and a ruggedized LCD display installed inside the vehicle.
Multi-mission 4X4
Elbit Systems’ family of ruggedized 4×4 platforms include the multi-mission Musketeer, which is based on the highly reliable Toyota Land Cruiser heavy duty vehicle. The Musketeer features a large internal protected space for cargo and up to five crew members, including a Gunner seated safely below deck. The easily maneuverable 4×4 can be manufactured in several configurations and is suitable for a wide range of missions, including military surveillance, urban operations, HLS, law enforcement, and peace keeping missions.
Mine Protected 4×4
The Mine Protected Vehicle (MPV) 4×4 is part of Elbit Systems’ line of ruggedized 4×4 platforms. Designed to operate effectively in explosive hazardous environments, the MPV offers enhanced ground explosive and ballistic protection for superior tactical mobility. Suitable for use on a variety of terrains and topographies, the platform provides excellent maneuverability in urban areas, narrow roads and off-road terrains. Its enhanced blast protection technologies increase survivability for the 12-member crew.
