Design Study for a Head Sensor.

Abstract

Helmet angle sensing is a requisite for tracking the pilot's head position and placing him in the loop of a visually coupled control system. This servo system slaves a weapon to the pilot's line-of-sight (LOS) and enables him to track the target with his hands free, to keep his head up and to maintain eye contact with the target. The technique enables complete coverage and unrestricted linear movement of the pilot's head within the spherical region of the Army AH-1G and AAH aircraft and allows unobstructed safe breakaway.
