U.S. Army demonstrates new HMD for the Apache

The U.S. Army has carried out flight tests with a new wide field-of-view helmet-mounted display (HMD) that could be fielded on the AH-64E.

A US Army pilot observes the features of an enhanced Helmet Mounted Display from the front seat of an AH-64E Apache Helicopter during a capability demonstration July 13-4 Aug. at Redstone Army Airfield. The event was hosted by The Apache Sensors Product Office in coordination with Redstone Test Center, the Future Vertical Lift- Cross Functional Team and a commercial vendor to showcase potential future cockpit technology.

The new high-definition, binocular see-thru HMD allows the pilot to see around and below the aircraft to create a transparent cockpit.

The system was demonstrated on an AH-64E Version 6 over 23 flights. A total of 17 pilots from Redstone Test Center (RTC), 101st Airborne Division, and the Army Capability Management – Recon Attack participated in the testing.
