The head-up display (HUD), helmet-mounted display, and visor-projected night vision are fully integrated to provide pilots with unprecedented capability in the fighter cockpit.

Vision Systems International (VSI; the Elbit Systems / Rockwell Collins joint venture) along with Helmet Integrated Systems, Ltd. developed the Helmet-Mounted Display System (HMDS) for the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter aircraft.

The F-35 Gen III Helmet Mounted Display System gives pilots the information they need at the speed of flight. Equipped with a sensor package integrated into the skin of each F-35 Lightning, each HMDS allows pilots to “see through the plane”, providing a 360˚ view.

The F-35 Gen III Helmet Mounted Display System (HMDS) provides a next-generation user interface that integrates the pilot more tightly than ever into the aircraft’s avionics, with more than 10,000 flight hours of operational use.

The F-35 Helmet Mounted Display (HMD), supplied by RCEVS ‒ a joint venture between Elbit Systems and Rockwell Collins ‒ provides critical flight information to the pilot throughout the entire mission.

Feb 26, 2024 · The F-35 Gen III HMDS is the world's most advanced helmet-mounted display system. Its next-generation user interface serves as a pilot's primary display system, providing them with intuitive access to vital flight, tactical and sensor information day or night.

The F-35 is the first modern fighter to use an HMD to the exclusion of a HUD. The HMD projects two identical images onto the visor, one for each eye, focused at infinity.< /p> < p>HUD vector symbology as well as sensor video is projected onto the visor.

Collins Aerospace F-35 Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) helmet-mounted display system (HMDS) provides the most capable situational awareness with intuitive access to tactical, flight and sensor information.

Nov 9, 2018 · The F-35 Gen III Helmet is the most advanced helmet-mounted display (HMD) in the world. It was created by Rockwell Collins, in concert with Lockheed Martin, the prime contractor responsible for making the F-35 Lightning II Joint Strike Fighter plane that pairs with this advanced helmet.
