Media are also encouraged to visit the BAE Systems booth (#6642) and www.baesystems.com/ausa to learn about other products and services that will be featured during the exposition. They include:
Advanced Component Obsolescence Management
For nearly two decades, BAE Systems has been assisting customers to identify and mitigate obsolescence issues before they become greater causes for concern. Advanced Component Obsolescence Management (AVCOM) is a web-enabled tool and service that allows users to forecast when a part will become obsolete or too expensive, and then finds a suitable replacement from across the marketplace. Given AVCOM’s access to an obsolescence management database comprised of more than 100 million parts, AVCOM is the go-to resource for military and commercial customers.
Aircraft Threat Management Solutions
With more than 40 years of experience, BAE Systems has a proven history of providing threat detection, integrated processing, and advanced threat countermeasures for superior protection against guided and unguided threats to rotary- and fixed-wing aircraft. These threat management solutions, which are battle proven in combat operations, include a modular family of systems that automatically sense, process, and respond to infrared threats, and improve situational awareness — while helping aviators execute their missions in hostile environments.
Broadsword® Spine® e-Textile Technology
Broadsword® Spine® is an invisible power and data network that is built directly into clothing using conductive fabrics instead of wires and cables. The innovative e-textile allows vital electronic devices to be plugged straight into a vest, jacket, or belt, with custom-built connectors hooking directly into power and data sources via USB. This offers military, security, and first responder personnel — all of whom rely on carrying electronic equipment and need a durable power supply for long periods of time — with a more flexible and robust alternative to existing power and data systems.
Enhanced Night Vision Goggles & Thermal Weapon Sights
BAE Systems provides innovative night vision goggles and thermal weapon sights, which together enable soldiers to rapidly and covertly acquire targets in all weather and lighting conditions. The work is performed as part of the Army’s Enhanced Night Vision Goggle III and Family of Weapon Sight-Individual (ENVG III/FWS-I) program. The company’s solution uses a wireless connection to transmit the weapon sight’s aim point and surrounding imagery directly into the soldier’s goggle. This enables soldiers to quickly locate and engage targets from any carry position, without needing to shoulder the weapon.
Geospatial eXploitation Products
BAE Systems develops industry-leading geospatial-intelligence software and solutions for data management, image exploitation, geospatial production, full-motion video analysis, and intelligence reporting. The Geospatial eXploitation Products (GXP®) business provide customers with comprehensive image and video analysis, data management, and geospatial production capabilities. These products serve government and civil customers’ needs for photogrammetry, mapping, image exploitation, precision targeting, geospatial intelligence, 3-D visualization, simulation, and mission planning.
Multiple-object Tracking Radar
The mobile Innovative Multiple-object Tracking Radar (iMOTR) uses commercial-off-the-shelf solutions to provide military test and evaluation ranges with a higher degree of accuracy in tracking time, space, and position information for objects in flight. The iMOTR features enhanced clutter suppression capabilities to deliver clearer, more accurate assessments of object launch trajectory and flight path data on airborne and low-flying objects. This tracking information can then be handed off to other radars or data collection sensors in real-time.
