The gunner hand stations allow the IFV crew to target and fire. It also works with the commander hand stations that drive the vehicle’s turret and initiate signals to the turret fire control systems.

The circuit cards are used to supply power to the hand station units.

Elbit Systems of America Ground Combat and Precision Targeting vice-president Ridge Sower said: “We have a long history of providing systems that meet the rigorous demands of the US Army.

“These gunner and commander hand stations and associated spare parts will increase soldiers’ operational effectiveness while keeping them safe.”

Earlier this year, Elbit Systems of America was selected by Cubic Mission Solutions to deliver full-motion video data link (FMVDL) power amplifiers for the F-35 Lightning II aircraft.
