Helmet Mounted Display For Both Fixed and Rotary-Wing Platforms
Maintain the most comprehensive situational awareness with the Scorpion® Helmet Mounted Display (HMD). Day or night, pilots have a complete, full-color symbology overlaid via augmented reality. Through a variety of platform network options, Scorpion enables total situational awareness with seamless, modular sensor and systems fusion. While Scorpion’s open system architecture allows the integrator to define how it shares the mission status with fellow aircrew and connected platforms, state-of-the-art full color WaveGuide technology enables the aircrew to effortlessly assess the tactical situation to execute the mission. Selected features offer the freedom to customize how Scorpion is integrated into the aircraft mission systems, providing a true Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA) capability within a cost-effective design. Personalized, completely agnostic mission-system interface allows users full control over how the HMD functionality is integrated into the tactical environment.
