Ltd., including the legacy assets of BVR Systems, ELSA’s portfolio answers the
need for training transformation that meets the growing demand for full spectrum,
joint-operation training missions. ELSA’s simulation solutions already support
several leading and prestigious military forces around the world.
The following will be highlighted in the ELSA booth:
Solutions to be presented in the Elbit Systems of
Australia booth:
Air Crew Training Systems
Blending combat experience with today’s innovative simulation technologies, ELSA
offers operational and tactical, virtual and embedded trainers and simulators to
leading air forces worldwide. Our modular, flexible training solutions for airborne
systems are designed to evolve and grow with customer needs. We offer
computer-based trainers, partial task trainers, full mission trainers and complete
training centers that comprise mission planning systems, simulators and debriefing
systems. Our advanced combat training system introduces a cutting-edge training
concept for lead-in trainers as well as fighter aircraft, providing customized training
and ongoing logistic support solutions for virtually any platform type.
Training & Simulation Systems:
ELSA is active worldwide in providing military training and simulation
systems, for air, land and sea. The Company relies on its cutting-edge
technological capabilities, especially in software development for complex systems
projects, and on its worldwide leadership in military platform upgrades. ELSA’s
virtual environments replicate actual combat equipment, systems and munitions,
transforming training to reality. Connecting all levels of operational forces, both in
simulators and onboard actual platforms and enabling them to share the same
arena, these systems allow interaction reflecting action in the actual battlefield.
They provide the tactical distributed mission training and collaborative mission
planning necessary to create interpretive, responsive and agile forces capable of
meeting future challenges.
ELSA’s portfolio is based on over three decades of experience in training and
simulation programs offering operational systems that were developed by pilots,
tank commanders, infantry commanders and naval officers. This includes
acknowledged expertise in providing air crew flight training for the Israel Air Force
Flight Academy as well as other international customers. An efficient maintenance
concept has been implemented, drastically reducing the number of maintenance
personnel while maintaining the highest aircraft availability.
The unique combination of actual flight hours together with synthetic training has
yielded a cost-effective training solution. ELSA’s portfolio includes training assets
such as Helmet Mounted Displays and avionics that allow instructors to monitor
trainees' movements and sights, also providing cadet debriefing video. In addition,
ELSA uses a unique training management system to monitor trainee trends and
advancements correcting flawed flying patterns in real time. The key feature of
ELSA’s air-crew training is based on a holistic training system approach as
opposed to specific training elements such as the aircraft and simulator.
"Total Training Experience" presents ELSA’s innovative, comprehensive training
solution, covering basic to operational joint training and eliminating training gaps.
From a young cadet to an operational pilot, from training technology to aircraft
service provision – ELSA’s solution includes flights school management, logistics
services and financing in a cost efficient package.
A Full Embedded Training experience can be achieved using the Targo® Helmet
Mounted Avionics (HMA) and the EVA (Embedded Virtual Avionics). Targo® is
a Helmet Mounted Avionics system that enables pilots to plan, rehearse, fly and
debrief using their personal helmets. The systems is easily integrated into any
aircraft’s avionics, providing all the benefits of prior helmet mounted display
systems, including helmet visor projected imagery and symbology, precision head
tracking and cueing. Installing EVA on a basic or advanced trainer aircraft
transforms the aircraft into a virtual advanced fighter while maintaining the hourly
training costs of a trainer. The EVA virtual avionics suite combined with Targo ® is
designed to shorten the large training gap existing today between trainer and
modern fighter aircraft.
Joint- Live Air, Land and Naval Training Concept:
ELSA offers a complete solution for live joint-combined training enabling the unique
combination of connected training among pilots, infantry soldiers and naval
officers. This concept facilitates efficient live joint-combined training via three live
and embedded training systems: Live Combat Training System (LCTS), EHUD®
Autonomous Air Combat Maneuvering Instrumentation (AACMI) and Naval Combat
Maneuvering Instrumentation (NCMI).
Live Combat Training System (LCTS). A complete solution for tactical combined
arms, force-on-force, live training, the LCTS combines infantry and armoured
vehicle laser suites, independent broadband communication and control center
capabilities into an integrated, realistic live training solution. It is fully independent
and deployable, facilitating efficient training in various terrains and urban areas
without the need of sight installation. Key features include a Weapon Engagement
System (WES) – live fire with eye-safe laser system, adaptable to any weapon or
platform, one laser emitter approach using the automated software controlled
adjustable range (A-SCAR) mechanism, high end WiMax communication and realtime control capabilities. A complete solution for urban training includes SUN
(Soldier Urban Navigation System), a unique, accurate, independent urban
navigation system for dismounted soldiers.
Tactical and HQ Training
For maintaining and enhancing tactical skills, ELSA’s tactical and collective team
trainers are ideal. Combining cutting edge tactical battlefield simulation with actual
C4I systems, our advanced concepts adapt to training for high intensity conflicts
(HIC) and low intensity conflicts (LIC) scenarios including urban warfare and
counter-terror operations as well as any OOTW (Operations Other Than War) and
HLS scenarios.
Tactical Battle Group Trainer (TBT) combines training of a complete unit or battle
group in combined arms and joint operations (armoured/mechanized, infantry,
artillery, forward observers, forward air controllers, engineers and logistics). TBT is
a highly effective solution for training of commanders and staff from company to
battalion and brigade levels. Its unique concept enables battle group leaders to
acquire tactical doctrines and to sharpen their command and control skills while
practicing various procedures, implementing C4I usage, conducting missionrehearsal and training on an actual geo-specific terrain, in any operational
scenario. The system offers cost-effective training, savings in training personnel,
shortening setup times and depicting efficient system maintenance.
EWTSS – Electronic Warfare Training & Simulation System
The EWTSS is a comprehensive solution for training of various Electronic Warfare
(EW) systems in diversified battlefield communications scenarios (ground, airborne
and naval). It trains the operator how to perform basic as well as comprehensive
COMINT procedures, to understand the requirements and implications of each of
his/her performed actions and to analyze the results. The EWTSS is comprised of
a trainer module and a trainee module. The trainer module allows one to easily
define a scenario automatically or manually and even import recordings from the
EW battlefield. The trainee module allows the operators to train using the real
system Human Machine Interface (HMI). The combination of these two modules
results in a well-balanced, diverse and easy to use scenario simulation
environment.
Cyber Security Simulator
ELSA’s cyber simulator was developed specifically for the training of government,
military and critical civilian infrastructure cyber defence agencies. It is designed, to
enable personal and group training of different users in locating, handling and
managing various cyber warfare events and attacks. The simulator also offers
training in prevention of cyber warfare events, by simulating network protection
scenarios. It includes various network protection scenarios and allows debriefing
and evaluation sessions in order to draw conclusions from the trainees’ training
performance. The cyber simulator is but one of the number of products developed
based upon ELSA’s accumulated know-how and experience in the field. It has
attracted much attention from various customers in Israel and abroad, as a result of
ELSA’s and its parent company’s extensive experience in land and airborne
training and simulating systems and its technological leadership and achievements
in the cyber security field.
