Babcock nears first customer for Nomad AI translation tool
Nomad can provide militaries with real-time intelligence, saving critical time on the battlefield.
Elbit Systems Ltd. announced today that it was awarded an approximately $18 million contract, for the supply of an EHUD Air Combat Maneuvering Instrumentation (ACMI) system for an Asian air force. The contract is a follow-on order that calls for the supply of two additional complete systems (static and mobile) to be used for real time, autonomous air-to-air and air-to-ground combat training and debriefing. The new systems will feature interoperability with an existing Elbit Systems' training system that the customer is already operating. The contract will be performed over the next two years.
Yoram Shmuely, Co-General Manager of Elbit Systems' Aerospace Division, said: "We are very proud to receive this follow-on order, which attests to the customer's satisfaction and solidifies the EHUD ACMI systems' position as a world leading air combat training system. This contract emphasizes once again the EHUD's overall outstanding reputation for enhancing the training and operational levels of air forces in Asia, NATO and around the world".
Eighteen leading air forces, on four continents, including numerous NATO countries, have chosen the EHUD ACMI training systems.
