Tel Aviv: The United States Army has awarded Elbit America contract valued at $120.5 million to develop Soldier Borne Mission Command (SBMC). This creates a next-generation capability that redefines how Soldiers operate, connect, and dominate in complex, contested environments, built on Elbit America’s proven legacy of see-through-display and night vision expertise.
Elbit America’s SBMC is a revolution in Soldier lethality built for the speed and complexity of modern combat.
According to the company, SBMC fuses live multi-spectral sensors with assured positioning into an intuitive, head-borne experience. This will enable soldiers to gain the prime advantage with continuous, mission-critical awareness without burden, distraction, or delay.
The company explains that SBMC delivers total connectivity, sharing visual intelligence and threat data across the unit in real time. Squads become synchronised, sensor-enabled teams where every Soldier benefits from the collective insight of the force. SBMC delivers prime perception that drives clarity and dominance even in denied or degraded environments.
According to Elbit, the US Army enhances the capabilities of fielded systems, SBMC sets the foundation for human-machine teaming, autonomous integration, and cognitive warfare dominance.
