Elbit’s HattoriX Concludes Demonstrations in Europe

HattoriX, the innovative artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled fire support system launched by Elbit Systems at the end of 2018, has completed a series of capability demonstrations for eight Western European countries. 
 
The system has been operational with the Israeli Defence Force since 2019.
HattoriX is a passive/active target acquisition system that uses AI to enable Forward Observers and similarly tasked tactical teams to close sensor-to-shooter loops.
Three intuitive touches on a screen are all that’s needed: a touch to acquire the target, a touch to issue the precise target coordinates, and a touch to send all of the target information to the fire systems. 
 
The demonstrations in Europe were performed in urban locations and in open fields, both during day and night, simulating a variety of operational scenarios. 
Users had the opportunity as part of the demonstration to experiment, first hand, the capability to passively and rapidly acquire Category 1 targets (Target Location error of few a metres), and facilitating effective engagement of Time Sensitive Targets (TST).
 
HattoriX marks a step change in the effectiveness of target acquisition at the tactical level as it demonstrably enables accurate and rapid engagement of TST and enhances the survivability of tactical teams. 
 
The system boasts technical superiority. Featuring payload agnostic mission computer that runs proprietary software, photogrammetry algorithm and an Augmented Reality (AR) overlay of real-time C2 data, HattoriX performs automatic fusion of Geographical Information System (GIS) database, pre-loaded targets data, payload’s visual feed, and C2 information, enabling the tactical user to intuitively issue CAT-1 targets without using any emitters, and seamlessly feed acquired targets and additional target information (image, video, description) into any Battle Management System.
 
Interfacing with any Electro-Optical payload of choice, HattoriX is comprised of a Goniometer, a mission computer, a touch-screen display unit, besides a lightweight tripod. 
 
It also includes a remote-controlled configuration for extended force protection. Users include FOs, Forward Air Controllers (FAC), Joint Terminal Attack Controllers (JTAC), reconnaissance teams, field intelligence and Special Forces.
 
Elbit Systems is exhibiting at stand 01-C20
