CONA5
Dual-operator console for naval applications, built entirely in carbon-fibre composite. It houses four displays (two single and two double) connected via optical-fibre extenders and maintains physically separated RED and BLACK signal management sections, each with its own independent power panel. The floating desk module absorbs shocks and vibrations to meet shipboard environmental requirements.
MFC12
Single-operator multifunctional console designed for naval use. The structure divides into a desk module and a base module, with the desk kept floating on shock absorbers so that resistance to shipboard shocks and vibrations is built into the frame rather than added separately. The arrangement gives the console a distinctive profile that is both structurally and aesthetically unlike conventional rackmount solutions.
MFC08 C&C
Three-operator command, control and communications console designed to be integrated inside a composite ISO-20 shelter for radar system management. Three modular sections each carry a 24-inch rugged monitor, keyboard and trackball. The product is notable for achieving full MIL-STD ergonomic compliance in a particularly compact footprint.
Situational Awareness Table
55-inch military-qualified large-screen display with a carbon-fibre chassis, described by Elesia as the first display of this size to carry full military qualification. It delivers Full HD resolution with Enhanced Visualization Technology and supports logical segmentation so that feeds from different sources can be displayed simultaneously. Used in tactical operations centres and other environments where operators need a persistent common picture.
Composite ISO Shelter (FCIS)
Full composite ISO-compatible shelter for military field deployment. Built from composite materials to reduce transport weight compared to traditional steel shelters while retaining structural integrity. Used to house command, control and communications equipment in deployed or vehicle-mounted configurations.
Wideband HF Antennas
No-tune wideband HF antenna systems, including 1 kW and WHA02 models. Designed to operate across the HF band without manual retuning, reducing operator workload in mobile and fixed military communication installations.
About
Elesia (Elettronica e Sistemi per Automazione S.p.A.) was founded in the late 1980s near Rome and began as a specialist distributor of high-tech electronics for the Italian defence market. Over the following decade, as government programmes modernised the Italian armed forces, the company built its own engineering and manufacturing capability, moving into the design of hardware and software for Command and Control systems aboard land vehicles, naval vessels and aircraft.
