American helicopters are about to have helmets like phones

Raytheon (USA) has successfully developed a device that can be attached to people like clothing, operating on Android and Windows operating systems, which will help pilots locate and detect targets even when they leave the fighter cockpit in the near future.

This system, called the Aviation Warrior , consists of a helmet that attaches to a single eye, with a wire connected to the digital display of the cockpit. The system will help helicopter pilots be aware of good or bad situations to cope. This device can also be attached to other aircraft, but the US Army has just provided equipment for helicopters.

The new device and display will provide the flexibility, the computer-related part is only the size of the old BlackBerry device, and the screen with an Android phone can be worn on the wrist. of the soldier. The screen displays information in the center allowing the pilot to see all the information without having to look at the screen.

Surprisingly, the device runs on the Window7 operating system, something unusual in military technology. Because Windows may not be used for real-time execution functions such as airfares or weapons controls that are often used for situational awareness and mapping.

The company is continuing to work to develop helmet-like coverage on mobile phones. When leaving the cockpit, it still allows pilots to map, locate and receive messages as well as update radio information.
