World Defense Show 2026: Northrop Grumman to present improved C2 management system
The Northrop Grumman Integrated Battle Command System is in service with Poland and the US Army with another 20 countries believed to have expressed an interest.
Rockwell Collins ESA Vision Systems (RCEVS) will integrate the Joint Helmet Mounted Cueing System II (JHMCS II) helmet-mounted display into the Republic of Korea Air Force’s F-16 aircraft, Elbit Systems announced on 21 February.
RCEVS is a joint venture between Elbit Systems of America and Rockwell Collins.
The JHMCS II helmet will provide enhanced situational awareness capabilities to pilots during day and night missions with immediate and accurate visor-projected display of friendly, threat, and unknown targets. The night vision goggle and digital eyepiece solution allows pilots to easily convert from day to night operations using one hand while airborne and without removing the helmet.
The JHMCS II will provide pilots and aircrew the capability to direct sensors and aim weapons. The system also includes an inherent future growth path to improved capabilities including full-colour symbology generated by a digital image source, full colour video, and pilot health monitoring.
