See-Through-Armor (STA)

360-degree situational awareness under closed hatches
A revolutionary, panoramic observation system, enabling operators to
understand and experience their environment from a single image. Using
algorithms that electronically join imagery collected by video cameras
installed around the vehicle, the STA provides a seamless 360-degree real-
time panoramic view.

Fire Control Systems (FCS)

Highly accurate, modular and reliable. Battle-proven and adaptable to a
wide range of AFVs and tanks
Features long-range, day and night, on-the-move high first-round hit probability
against moving targets. Reliable and cost-effective, the systems range from
simplified FCS for one-man light turrets to high-performance hunter-killer
FCS for front-line main battle tanks (MBTs). Every FCS is configurable with
battle management systems used in net-centric warfare.

Electric Gun and Turret Drive System (EGTDS)

Improved fire control capabilities for heavy turrets and guns
Elbit Systems’ EGTDS significantly enhances turret stabilization and firing on
the move. The system provides smooth target tracking at high-speeds and
in all firing positions, even for heavy guns and turrets. In addition the system
improves safety by eliminating the need for the highly flammable hydraulic
fluid used in conventional systems.

Driver Thermal Vision System

Uncooled thermal imaging kit
Fully ruggedized and suitable for a wide range of vehicle-mounted applications.
The vision system includes a thermal imaging camera based on an uncooled
detector and a ruggedized LCD display installed inside the vehicle.
