Featuring an 11×19 inch display, the multifunctional AMLCD to be delivered as part of the contract will represent the largest airborne cockpit display, surpassing the company’s existing 8×20 inch product line.

The LPHUD system is scheduled to be integrated in the advanced cockpit system aboard F/A-18E/F Super Hornets and F-15 Silent Eagle fighter aircraft, which are currently being offered by Boeing for competitions in Asia and Latin America.

"With a more compact size and shape, the new Elbit LPHUD is a panoramic high-definition display."

With a more compact size and shape, the new Elbit LPHUD is a panoramic high-definition display requiring less space than conventional HUD systems, and will serve as the centrepiece of an advanced cockpit system, which is a common upgrade to the F/A-18 and F-15 aircraft.

Fully interoperable with the joint helmet-mounted cueing system II (JHMCS II), the display combines integrated tactical and flight information into a single screen to help address the pilot’s mission specific requirements while on the battlefield.
