Looks like Elbit is Wrangling the Modernization Effort from ENVG-B to JEDI. Why? Mr. Sower tells us speed, no prolonged acquisition process, continuous Development. Part of the problem is the constant struggle for participation by the Giants. Turning this process over to Elbit is the smartest decision the Pentagon has made in a while. Now wouldn't it be nice if they did not have to coordinate with suppliers on critical components but have the supply chain managed In-House? So I'll stick to my assertion that SmartEye IS IVAS.

The new rifles will all have attachment rails, electrical power, and digital links to accept a wide and ever-growing range of electronic accessories. Arguably the most important is the Family of Weapon Sights - Individual. Known as FWS-I, the smart gunsight wirelessly transmits targeting data from the rifle to the latest night vision goggles (Enhanced Night Vision Goggle – Binocular, or ENVGB).

What’s the most game-changing technology Elbit is working on for the individual soldier to wear or carry? How can it empower new tactics? There is no single game-changing technology, rather Elbit is working on the integration of multiple emerging technologies that together are game-changing, and these include: Augmented Reality; Aided Target Recognition (AiTR); Precision Targeting with Low SWAP Self Location; and an Advanced Targeting Processor, the backbone, to host these and other technologies. What Israeli innovations and lessons learned can Elbit bring to the US military in soldier lethality and other Army modernization priorities? In Israel acquisitions do not suffer from the extended source selection timelines that the US Military as often operated in. Israel is a continuous Battle Lab with Elbit engineers serving in the Reserves with fellow soldiers who require, design, deliver and iterate emerging technologies at an accelerated rate. This speed of innovation is commonplace at Elbit and allows our organization to match the speed that the US Army modernization is determined to move at.
