EID to unveil new vehicle communication system at DSEI
The Portuguese company’s naval communications system is in service across more than a dozen countries. It has turned to its home nation for support in developing a new vehicle based C2 system.
The HattoriX AI-enabled target acquisition system from Elbit Systems has completed demonstrations for eight Western European militaries, the Israeli manufacturer announced on 18 January.
The series of capability demonstrations were performed in Europe, both in urban and rural environments by day and at night, ‘simulating a variety of operational scenarios’, Elbit stated.
HattoriX has been operated by the Israel Defense Forces since 2019. It is a passive and active target acquisition system that employs AI to enable forward observers and similarly tasked tactical teams to close sensor-to-shooter loops with three intuitive touches on a screen: one to acquire the target, another to issue the precise coordinates and the third to send all target information to the firing systems.
HattoriX interfaces with any EO payload of choice. It comprises a goniometer, mission computer, touchscreen display and lightweight tripod. The system also includes a remote-controlled configuration for extended force protection.
