FORTH WORTH,
Texas,
February 25 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Elbit Systems
of America, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Elbit Systems Ltd. (NASDAQ:
ESLT), introduces its next generation Tacter(R)-31D rugged dismountable
vehicular computer platform and the new 10.4" rugged display at Elbit Systems
of America's booth #123 at the AUSA Winter 2009 exhibition in
Ft. Lauderdale,

The Tacter(R)-31D offers a brilliant daylight-readable 10.4" display,
powered by an Intel(R) Core 2 Duo processor and powered by hot-swappable
Li-Ion Smart Batteries. The simple operation of a latch releases the
Tacter(R)-31D for dismounted use. When returning to the vehicle, the user
simply places the Tacter(R)-31D tablet computer into the vehicle docking
system and all interfaces attach for use. The Tacter(R)-31D is designed for
comfortable use and ease of operation. Eight programmable function keys make
it an ideal platform for custom applications. With a press of a button, the
unit enters night mission mode and the screen dims to accommodate night
vision goggles. The unit will be available with embedded military SAASM or
commercial GPS, as well as a radio interface and wireless communication
options. .
The RD-104 rugged display is an addition to existing platforms or
dismounted computer systems. By mounting the display and attaching the
cables, the RD-104 becomes a daylight-readable touch-screen display interface
for systems. This extends the usefulness of information on the computer
system to other users, passengers in the vehicle or to remote computer
operations. The RD-104 can be connected to a personal computer quickly and
conveniently. The RD-104's features include a remote zeroize button, a power
button, additional USB ports and other interfaces that broaden existing
computer's utility into new missions.
"We are very excited about these two new computer solutions, said Jim
English, Vice President of C4I Solutions for Elbit Systems of America. We
believe the new Tacter(R)-31D is the most advanced vehicular
mounted/dismounted military computer featuring a tablet configuration, thus
enabling to share image or Command and Control information on a platform away
from the work station. Being able to attach the Tacter(R)-31D to another
station in the vehicle allows additional people to share the information and
serves as an added value to combat echelons in the rapidly evolving world of
the new modern digital battlefield."
