There is a critical need across the Services to improve the effectiveness of aircrew within the crewstation by capitalizing on the natural psycho-motor skills of the pilot through the use of a variety of helmet-mounted visual display and control techniques. This has resulted in considerable interest and significant ongoing research and development efforts on the part of the Navy, as well as the Army and the Air Force, in the technology building blocks associated with this area, such as advanced head tracking technologies, helmet-mounted display optics and electronics, and advanced night vision or image intensification technologies. Advanced multi-mode visually-coupled systems combine the attributes of image intensification with those of the helmet-mounted display capabilities for symbology and thermal sensor presentation. Examples of this class of system could be something as simple as the night vision goggle HUD, or NVG-HUD, which combines head tracking, image intensification, and simple symbology overlay, to the more complex multi-mode systems with high resolution miniature CRT's. This class of systems is capable of presenting to the pilot correlated, spatially-referenced information from both the image intensification technology, as well as a dynamic, high fidelity symbology overlay, and correlated thermal sensor imagery.
