Helmet-mounted display

Vision Systems International's helmet-mounted display system (HMDS) provides critical flight information to pilots throughout the course of a mission. The system recently flew for the first time on an F-35 Joint Strike Fighter aircraft. In addition to the standard helmet-mounted display capabilities, such as extreme off-axis targeting and cueing, this system uses the advanced avionics architecture of the F-35. It provides the pilot video with imagery in day or night conditions combined with precision symbology to provide a high level of situational awareness and tactical capability. Its head-tracking capability and low-latency graphics processing enable it to provide the pilot with a virtual heads-up display. The HMDS has completed all required safety-of-flight tests, allowing in-flight seat ejections up to 450 KEAS (knots equivalent air speed) and has demonstrated structural integrity to 600 KEAS as a critical risk-mitigation step towards full flight certification.
