U.S. Navy awards RTX and Elbit Systems of America a $16 million contract for improved F/A-18 pilot helmet mounted display systems
- CEVS awarded contract for development of Improved Joint Helmet Mounted Cueing System
- Introducing Zero-G HMDS+ with augmented view for faster decision making
- None.
With this award, CEVS is formally introducing the Zero-G Helmet Mounted Display System+ (HMDS+)™. The Zero-G HMDS+™ will provide an augmented view of the battle space inside the pilot's helmet to allow for faster decision making, increasing survivability and effectiveness.
"The team followed a new development process that incorporated early and continuous pilot input to field the best solution. The result is an innovative and adaptable HMDS that will follow a long, successful line of fielded HMDS from CEVS," said CEVS Co-General Manager Jeff Hoberg.
In addition to providing improved capability, the balanced and ultra-lightweight design of the Zero-G HMDS+™ will significantly decrease the physiological strain pilots experience.
For the last 30 years, CEVS has been at the forefront of developing and delivering solutions that keep pilots safe and battle ready. To learn more about the cutting-edge capabilities and benefits to pilots from the Zero-G HMDS+™, visit collinsaerospace.com/ZeroG.
