Exelis to highlight technology at SOFIC 2015 for evolving Special Forces missions CLIFTON, N.J., May 14, 2015 - Exelis (NYSE: XLS) will showcase a range of electronic warfare (EW), intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance and analytics (ISR&A) and communications technologies at theSpecial Operations Forces Industry Conference (SOFIC), booth 1425, May 19-21 in Tampa, Florida.
With deep expertise in the fields of EW, ISR&A and critical networks, Exelis technologies support the capabilities special operators need to accomplish their missions across all domains of the current and future battlespace.
Exelis has decades of experience developing technologies that help dominate the electromagnetic spectrum, enable advanced real-time situational awareness and keep special operators ahead of emerging threats, said Bob Edmonds, Exelis vice president, business development and Air Force programs. Special Operations Forces are among the first to confront the shifting nature of military engagements, and Exelis is committed to helping them succeed in their evolving missions.
Among its many solutions, Exelis will highlight the following technologies at SOFIC:
Electronic Warfare
o Disruptor SRx- The newly debuted adaptive, multifunctional EW capability with industry leading size, weight and power characteristics for mission success in a constantly changing electronic environment.
o ALQ-211- The ALQ-211 family of electronic self-protection systems, including the suite of integrated radio frequency countermeasures, which protects Army Special Forces rotorcraft from sophisticated radio frequency (RF) threats.
o ALQ-172- An integrated RF self-protection system, which shields U.S. Air Force B-52s and Special Operations C-130s. The combat-proven system can simultaneously counter multiple pulse, continuous wave, pulse Doppler and monopulse threats. Exelis is the leading provider of electronic self-protection for large aircraft, with leading expertise in threat identification, technique generation and powerful electronic countermeasures to keep aviators safe in the most challenging operating environments.
o EGON Active/Reactive Counter-IED System- A counter-improvised explosive device system that can be tailored to individual mission requirements in 15 minutes. EGON has significantly enhanced size, weight and power characteristics compared with ground EW systems.
o Militaryantenna solutions - Exelis designs, builds and develops custom and multifunction communications, navigation, data link, electronic support measures and EW antennas that give the warfighter an advantage on land, at sea, in the air, or in space.
Intelligence, Surveillance Reconnaissance & Analytics
o CorvusEyeTM 1500- A wide-area airborne surveillance system that complements traditional video surveillance by providing high-resolution, visible color and infrared motion imagery over a city-sized area, as well as real-time processing to track potentially hazardous or illicit activity. CorvusEye can simultaneously generate up to 10 high-resolution views of different areas of interest.
o JagwireTM - A Web-based solution that provides on-demand access to critical geospatial intelligence data from a variety of sources. Combined with ENVI(R) analytics, Jagwire is an end-to-end Web-based solution to rapidly discover, visualize, analyze, and disseminate Multi-INT, multimodal data including FMV (full motion video), WAMI (wide-area motion imagery), LiDAR (light detection and ranging) and imagery.
o ENVI(R) Image Analysis Software- ENVI allows users to quickly extract critical information from geospatial imagery, LiDAR, and SAR (synthetic aperture radar) data. ENVI is scientifically proven and works both on the desktop and in the cloud to help users prepare for a variety of topographies and identify potential threats.
Communications & Situational Awareness
o RO(R) tactical radio- A rugged, handheld tactical radio that provides on-the-move, over-the-horizon secure voice and data communications as well as location services in bandwidth-austere environments.
o Individual Soldier System- A night vision and communications solution that integrates voice, video and data into tactical networks allowing commanders to view what soldiers are seeing, send instructions like texts, alerts or images directly to the goggles display.
o White Phosphor capability - Provides night vision users with a black and white image instead of the traditional green image that has become the signature view through most Generation 3 (Gen-3) night vision technology.
o The newly upgradedSpearNet-EVO- A 21st century communications system bringing voice, situational awareness and inter-networking access capabilities that surpass traditional point-to-point communication system limitations on both range and data rate.
o Tactical Mobility Night Vision Goggle (TMNVG) - A Gen-3 lightweight F6044 series night vision goggle offering integrated color display import and camera capture export capabilities. TMNVG delivers optimal resolution, high gain and photo response to near-infrared light with variable gain control for enhanced performance in changing light conditions.
