Russell Draper, a U.S. Army C5ISR Center RTI senior engineer, stated, “To maintain Army Aviation’s overmatch condition, we have to invest in new displays and technologies. The Center will test the HMD system in an Army Relevant Fixed wing aircraft later this year.”

Vision Products’ President Michael Browne, Ph.D., expressed enthusiasm about this achievement, stating, “The delivery of our HMD to the Army signifies a significant leap forward in providing cutting-edge solutions for operation in degraded environments. The wide field of view of the HMD, along with its full-color display, will be especially beneficial for pilots, significantly improving mission safety and effectiveness in challenging visual conditions.”

“This milestone underscores Vision Products’ commitment to delivering platform-independent solutions that can be seamlessly integrated across existing platforms and future platforms,” Browne added. “I am proud to announce that Vision Products is working towards a flight demonstration with the Army in the second half of 2024,” said Browne. “Our freeform prism eyepieces provide the ultimate in optical performance, without the fragility, low contrast and low resolution of other solutions.”

The HMD’s advanced capabilities make it an ideal choice for Army aviation, offering a solution that enhances pilot performance, improves mission success rates, and ensures operational readiness in diverse scenarios. Additionally, the system can be easily mounted on standard aviation helmets, enhancing its usability and integration with existing equipment.

Key features of the HMD include:

• High-resolution display for clear and detailed imagery
• Wide field of view for comprehensive situational awareness
• Full-color display for enhanced visual information
• Compatibility with standard aviation helmets and aircraft
