JHMCS
Joint Helmet Mounted Cueing System
The Joint Helmet Mounted Cueing System (JHMCS)
is a joint U.S. Air Force and U.S. Navy Helmet Mounted Display (HMD)
Program that has fielded over 3200 systems.
As VSI's very first product, the JHMCS is qualified
on F-15, F-16 and F/A-18 fighter aircraft, and is operational on many
Air Force platforms around the world.
The JHMCS is a highly accurate display and
cueing system that provides pilots with “first look, first shot”
high off-boresight weapons engagement capability.
JHMCS enables the pilot to accurately
direct (cue) onboard weapons and sensors against enemy aircraft
while performing high-G aircraft maneuvers. The pilot simply points
his/her head at the target and weapons will be directed
to where the pilot is looking. The system can also be employed to
accurately cue the pilot to ground targets. As a cueing system,
JHMCS is a two way interface where sensors aboard the aircraft
can cue the pilot to potential targets or, the pilot
can cue weapons and sensor systems to areas of interest. Critical
information and symbology such as targeting cues and aircraft performance
parameters are graphically displayed directly on the pilot’s visor.
JHMCS provides low-weight, optimized C.G. and in-flight replaceable
modules to enhance operational performance, including the ability
to be reconfigured in-flight to meet night time requirements.
