A new helmet-mounted display system has been integrated into the US Army Flight School, giving students improved visual resolution to enhance the quality and realism of training exercises.
L-3 Communication’s Advanced Helmet Mounted Display (AHMD) will be integrated with the US Army Flight School XXI programme’s Reconfigurable Collective Training Devices.

L-3 Communication’s vice president of army programmes, Lenny Genna, says the helmets provide pilots with a 360-degree field-of-regard of out-of-the-window imagery and systems symbology, enabling crews to realistically view their surrounding cockpit instrumentation.
“Helmet-mounted displays have proven their effectiveness in supporting the US Army Aviation Warfighting Center’s conduct of large-scale, simulation-based aviation training exercises, which are conducted over geo-specific visual databases of areas in Iraq and Afghanistan to which units are preparing to deploy,” he says.
“The integration of L-3’s AHMDs into these exercises will further enhance the quality and training realism of these major events.”
