Lockheed Martin Comments on Defense News Reporting... this reads like a "Dear John" CC Fan Letter from home. Or letting him down easy. Or "as OLED advances rapidly!"

Lockheed "confident in the system" maybe not so much in the Gen II helmet. Requirement to land on an Aircraft Carrier w/ the GEN II is 50 previous landings. So restrictions with the Legacy System.  Now about that $100 Million out to Space Force with the ForthDD display John. The last bit reads like the hammer.
PS. Flyover by 2 F-35 in DC today as Poland wants 30 planes.

Helmet “Green Glow”
The U.S. Navy continues to fly with their current helmet, demonstrating their confidence in the system, and pilots with greater than 50 night landings operate with the current Gen II helmet at night. The improved Gen III helmet has already been designed, tested and is now being qualified for use. The first few of these new helmets have been delivered and we anticipate the upgraded helmets will resolve both the green glow and night vision conditions identified.
Additionally, as camera and OLED technology advances rapidly, we expect the F-35 helmet to continue to deliver unprecedented levels of situational awareness for pilots and only improve further over time.
