StrikeEye and F-35 HMDS Product Update

You may have seen in the news this past Wednesday (8/31) that two F-35As, an AF-10 and AF-11, and two F-16 chase aircraft are poised for take-off at Eglin AFB, and that the F-35 JPO authorized a return to flight operations for F-35 production aircraft, all equipped with HMDS.

Our StrikeEye HMDS product is effectively the equivalent to the F-35 HMDS product. As the F-35 avionic architecture is unique, we created the StrikeEye product line to address other potential platforms requiring a Wide Field of View (WFOV) binocular HMD. And I just want to mention our StrikeEye HMDS recently completed highly successful testing of the next-generation night vision camera.

Though the technology of our next-generation night vision camera is revolutionary, we at VSI are committed to making it better, faster and more cost effective. As we continue to invest in the technology, we’re confident that we are on the right path to achieving night-vision capabilities previously unavailable to fighter pilots. The bottom line: our combat-proven HMDS are the “low risk” solution for fixed-wing tactical aircraft.

I hope you visit this site often for more updates, innovations and advanced developments from VSI.
