BVR Systems bags $18.4 million order for Air Combat Maneuvering Instrumentation
BVR Systems (1998) Ltd., today announced the award of a contract, valued at 18.4 million US dollars, for the provision of an EHUD(R) Air Combat Maneuvering Instrumentation (ACMI) system for an international customer.
The EHUD(R) ACMI system will be used for real-time, autonomous networked combat training and debriefing. The contract includes the provision of new EHUD(R) ACMI pods, as well as interoperability with the existing BVR-supplied system already in service with this Air Force.
BVR Systems’ CEO, Ilan Gillies commented: “The new award is our first order for the year 2008. It follows a company announcement in early November 2007 of another ACMI system contract award valued at $19.5M. BVR concluded 2007 with new booked orders valued at $42M, a substantial growth over 2006. This new contract emphasizes the EHUD(R) product’s overall
excellent reputation for enhancing the training value and operational readiness of air forces in Asia, NATO and around the world. The award reflects the customer’s confidence in BVR’s unique capabilities and solutions and is a further tribute to BVR’s technological leadership and
strong competitive position for On-Board and Embedded training systems.”
To date, 18 leading air forces from four continents, amongst them many NATO countries, have chosen the EHUD(R) ACMI solution.
The EHUD(R) ACMI system is a complete on-board autonomous networked training and safety suite, with state-of-the-art post-flight PC debriefing capabilities. The EHUD(R) rangeless system is designed to enhance the airborne training of fighter pilots for a broad range of missions. It is a highly effective Air-to-Air and Air-to-Ground mission training and debriefing system. The system’s sophisticated safety features include mid-air and ground collision audio warnings, in addition to an extensive rule violation library. BVR’s EHUD(R) is unsurpassed in capability, reliability and maintainability.
