Aerospace
Our high performance aerospace systems are compatible with emerging net-centric concepts assuring enhanced situational awareness, faster decision making and optimal response. Our unique airborne Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C4ISR) solutions, provide pilots with data communications and real-time situation pictures as well as the tools to share mission-critical data with ground and naval platforms. Our focus is on fusion; the ability to meld data derived from intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance sources and carry out joint, seamless operations between air to air, air to ground, manned and unmanned platforms via common avionics and C4I solutions.The multidisciplinary concept extends to designing training and simulation systems that accommodate evolving missions and combine air and ground systems in a single architecture.
From a single sensor to an entire cockpit avionics suite - total solutions from a single sourceWith our comprehensive airborne systems capabilities, we can provide a single sensor or an entire cockpit avionics suite.We integrate our systems on fixed and rotary-wing, eastern and western, new and mature aircraft. We also supply unique commercial avionic systems and aero structures for civilian aircraft, and our airborne systems are installed as original equipment in new aircraft.
The Company incorporates a wide range of core products and technologies into integrated high-performance avionic systems. From flight instrumentation to head-up and helmet-mounted displays to guided weapons, we provide battle-proven electronic and electro-optic combat systems for air forces worldwide. Our systems are designed to be net-centric oriented, intelligent, fast and precise.
Making the pilot’s job easier - Helmet Mounted Systems (HMS) Initially, helmet systems were designated for aiming aircraft weapon systems. Elbit Systems' advanced helmet systems enhance pilot situational awareness by concentrating data from all aircraft systems and displaying it spatially in front of the pilot’s eyes.Our latest configuration, which is the result of a continuous development process, also has safety advantages: the pilot's head does not have to be lowered to read vital data, everything is displayed on the pilot's visor.
We have established a clear leadership position in the HMS market. We have innovated and integrated generations of HMS and Helmet Mounted Displays (HMDs) for fixed and rotary-wing aircraft. Our solutions are designed by experienced combat pilots and are operational with a large number of customers throughout the world. These systems are supplied as part of our turnkey modernization programs, as well as on a stand-alone basis.
No longer ‘up in the air’, the pilot and aircrew are connected, situationally-aware and capable of carrying out joint operations with forces on the ground or at sea. Our focus is on fusion – unifying forces to win.

Elbit Systems' Policy on Social Responsibility
Elbit Systems places substantial importance on social responsibility to the communities in which we live and work. This is consistent with the Company's policy of emphasizing ethics in our business practices. Our social responsibility policy is expressed in many different ways with a common theme: an ongoing inter-relationship with the community. Our policy enhances and encourages the voluntary efforts of our companies and employees who donate their time and efforts in the support of members of our communities who are in need.
In this regard, we place priority on initiatives to promote educational advancement, particularly in the technology sectors. As an organization with extensive know-how and technology resources, as well as a long-term strategic approach to management, we see the education of the youth of today and future generations as the basis for continual growth and advancement of society, both for the high-tech and scientific spheres in general and for the Company specifically.
A major activity resulting from our social responsibility policy is facilitating the placement of our employees as tutors in peripheral communities and less developed neighborhoods. These tutors provide the younger generation accessibility to technology-related knowledge as well as other educational resources generally lacking in those areas.
Examples of our ongoing projects in Israel to enhance technical education in the community include:
• Dozensofemployeesvolunteeringastutorsintechnical subjects for junior and senior high school students in Tirat Carmel;
• Installingatelescopeontheroofofourfacilityin Sderot to assist students studying astronomy;
• Employeesvolunteeringtoteachbasicelectro-optics to high school students in the Upper Galilee as well as in the town of Sderot;
• AscholarshipprogramforstudentsofEthiopianbackground at the Technion and Haifa University, which includes the opportunity to integrate work at Elbit Systems during the course of their studies.
We also promote numerous other community support activities in Israel, in the United States and in other countries in which we have subsidiaries. We encourage employees to volunteer for activities that help persons in need such as single-parent families, the elderly and those with disabilities.
We also promote community projects conducted by teenage children of employees during school vacations. We are convinced that contributing to the community makes good business sense. This has been reflected in our ranking among the top Israeli companies in the “Maala” social responsibility index.
