On Monday, the US Defense Department awarded Lockheed Martin a $352.6 million contract modification to buy Gen III Helmet-Mounted Display Systems (HMDS), which are supplied by a joint venture between Elbit Systems and Rockwell Collins.
The HDMS equips the pilot with mission-critical information on the helmet’s visor and fuses together the F-35’s communications and sensor suite to form a clear picture of the operating environment — giving the pilot “unprecedented” situational awareness and tactical capability, according to Elbit.
