CEDAR
RAPIDS, Iowa and FORT WORTH,
Texas, Sept. 7, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Collins
Elbit Vision Systems (CEVS) – a joint venture between Collins
Aerospace, an RTX (NYSE: RTX) business, and Elbit Systems of
America – has been awarded a contract by the Naval Air Warfare
Center Aircraft Division for development, engineering, logistics
and test support of the Improved Joint Helmet Mounted Cueing System
used in Block III F/A-18E/F and E/A-18G aircraft.
With this award, CEVS is formally introducing the Zero-G Helmet
Mounted Display System+ (HMDS+)™. The Zero-G HMDS+™ will provide an
augmented view of the battle space inside the pilot's helmet to
allow for faster decision making, increasing survivability and
effectiveness.
"The team followed a new development process that incorporated
early and continuous pilot input to field the best solution. The
result is an innovative and adaptable HMDS that will follow a long,
successful line of fielded HMDS from CEVS," said CEVS Co-General
Manager Jeff Hoberg.
In addition to providing improved capability, the balanced and
ultra-lightweight design of the Zero-G HMDS+™ will significantly
decrease the physiological strain pilots experience.
For the last 30 years, CEVS has been at the forefront of
developing and delivering solutions that keep pilots safe and
battle ready. To learn more about the cutting-edge capabilities and
benefits to pilots from the Zero-G HMDS+™, visit
