Fiber Optic Helmet Mounted Display

Abstract

The briefing covers the capabilities, current status and future plans of the Fiber Optic Helmet Mounted Display (FOHMD) being developed under a joint US/Canada cost-sharing program. The technology is intended to fill a gap that exists in simulator visual displays. The technology is not classified and has been briefed a number of occasions throughout the simulation industry. This briefing was given previously to the joint US/Canada Working Group who supports this project. It contains a pictorial description of the design concept, a table of training requirements versus display performance, the current status of the development effort, recognized technical problems with improvements underway to eliminate them, and an anticipated schedule for demonstration. The briefing follows the viewgraphs and describes their intent in slightly more detail.
