Wireless Communication Technology as Applied to Head Mounted Display for a Tactical Fighter Pilot

Abstract

The use of Helmet-Mounted Display/Tracker (HMD/Ts) is becoming widespread for air-to-air, within visual range target acquisition for a tactical fighter pilot. HMD/Ts provide the aircrew with a significant amount of information on the helmet, which reduces the burden of the aircrew from having to continually look down in the cockpit to receive information. HMD/Ts allow the aircrew to receive flight and targeting information regardless of line-of- sight, which should increase the aircrew's situation awareness and mission effectiveness.
