features unique technological capabilities, the most prominent of which is the use of artificial intelligence (AI). Similar to the F-35 helmets manufactured by Elbit Systems, which provide the pilot with real-time information analysis, a similar feature is used in the Barak tank.
Elbit's Iron Vision system enables improved combat in densely built areas, and includes an integrated AI peripheral vision system and an advanced visor for the tank commander, which reflects what is happening outside the tank while integrating the relevant information on top of the image, with the ability to direct any device in the tank towards his eyes at the push of a button. ...
