The U.S. Air Force has awarded Raytheon a $12.6 million contract for Phase 1 integration and qualification of the Helmet Mounted Integrated Targeting (HMIT) system for Air Force and Air National Guard A-10C and F-16C Block 30/32 aircraft.
HMIT will be a “heads-up” system that displays crucial information in high-resolution color imagery directly in the pilot’s field of vision. Information displayed will include weapons-cueing, targeting and situational awareness information, including data from on-board and remote sensors. The system will track helmet movement to display accurate imagery regardless of the direction the pilot’s head is turned, and it will be fully compatible with U.S. military-standard airborne night vision systems.
