DEP turns night into day
As the Rockwell Collins/Elbit joint venture celebrates 20 years of providing JHMCS helmet-mounted displays, a new night cueing system is being trialed.
Elbit Systems’ Digital Eye Piece turns a standard helmet-mounted display into a night-vision-capable device without expensive changes to hardware installations or software.

In collaboration with a number of European F-16 operators, Elbit Systems (Hall 1 Stand A100) has recently conducted a series of night demonstrations of its Digital Eye Piece (DEP) add-on system for the JHMCS (joint helmet-mounted cueing system) family. Able to be fitted as a plug-and-play extension for the JHMCS, Digital JHMCS and JHMCS-II displays, the DEP upgrades the night capability of the JHMCS so that the high level of daytime targeting and sensor cueing is extended into the nighttime.
