Raytheon has won a contract worth $12.6 million for an initial integration and qualification of the helmet-mounted integrated targeting system for F-16 and A-10 aircraft flown by the U.S. Air Force and Air National Guard, the company said in a July 19 statement at the Farnborough air show.The potential market for the helmet-mounted system extends to the fleet of up to 1,000 F-16 fighters flown by the U.S. Air Force, and beyond them, to the estimated 4,000 F-16 aircraft operated by foreign air forces.
Under the deal, Raytheon will integrate the Visionix Scorpion helmet cueing system from Gentex into the cockpit systems of the A-10C and F-16C block 30/32 aircraft, said Wayne Iurillo, the support vice president of Raytheon’s technical services company.
“The system will track helmet movement to display accurate imagery regardless of the direction the pilot’s head is turned and it will be compatible with U.S. military standard airborne night vision systems,” the company said.
