Helmet-mounted displays (HMDs) enable flight information to be displayed within the Pilot's field-of-view. regardless of head position in the cockpit. The present research initiates the investigation of an off-boresight HMD (OBHMD). which appears when the pilot's head position is greater than 20-degrees from the aircraft's boresight. Nine subjects flew a simulated, low-level, high-speed, airborne surveillance/ reconnaissance mission. while monitoring a hostile adversary aircraft. The results indicate pilots were able to spend more time and look further offboresight with an OBHMD than without one. In addition. missions with an OBHMD produced fewer terrain impacts. This research effort has demonstrated the promising performance benefits an OBHMD affords, as well as the need for further research to optimize OBHMD symbology.
