Lockheed Martin has solved the problem with the helmet of pilots F-35

The US Air Force command lifted the restriction on flights in extremely low light conditions, introduced earlier for pilots of the fifth generation F-35 fighter. As transmits "NPlus1" With reference to Bloomberg, the American Lockheed Martin managed to remove the green glow of the displays of the helmets of the pilots of the F-35 Lightning II fighter jets.

The American Lockheed Martin, which is the developer and manufacturer of the latest fifth-generation fighter F-35, made changes to the helmet of the pilots of this fighter, replacing the liquid crystal displays with OLED (organic LEDs), thereby lifting the ban on the use of fighters in extremely low light conditions.

The fact is, the newspaper writes that the helmet of the F-35 pilot is equipped with an information display system with a liquid crystal display in front of the pilot’s eyes, which displays information from aircraft’s instruments, as well as the image from the aircraft’s circular cameras. In low light conditions, the system switches to night mode. However, due to miscalculations in the information output system in night mode, the display began to glow uniformly green, thereby drowning out images of devices and cameras completely or to barely guessed outlines.

All this led to the ban on the use of the F-35 at night, especially when landing on aircraft carriers on moonless nights.

The company found a solution in replacing the liquid crystal display with a display based on OLED technology. It is reported that this not only solved the problem of the night mode of operation of the helmet, but also improved the quality of the picture. Other details about the refinement of the helmet are not specified.

If only this electronic helmet would not have clouded their brains, like a microwave or cell phone ...

[parkello]

well, at least something improved

[tatarin_ru]

ockheed Martin managed to remove the green glow of the displays of the helmets of pilots

Now the cost of the kit has increased by $ 10 million

[parkello]

visibility has improved. and at a price of 150 million dollars apiece for 10 million, no one will pay attention. but it became more comfortable to pilot it, and jambs will be corrected further, though we will learn about it last, but they will bring to mind everything that they can. so ... we must seriously think about the fact that soon there will be many such aircraft in the air. and not one of them will be friendly.

[Bshkaus]

and they will continue to correct the jambs, though we will learn about the latter, but they will bring to mind everything that they can. so ... you have to seriously think about

are they changing the LCD display on OLED and depending on what happens, and does our industry independently produce at least one of these items?

And why did they annoy you like that? Penny wages, medicine and education in one place, so to speak, and so on, through their fault or what?

[Okolotochny]

Cheap wages, medicine and education in one place, so to speak, and so on

Let's start for students:
1. Salaries. Do you know how long a vacation lasts in the USA? 2 weeks. We have 4 weeks. Give up your 2 weeks, your salary will be higher.
Do you know how long parental leave in the USA lasts? Practically about 1 month. Then think as you like. Our employers and the state pay up to 3 years. Let's give it up, and use the "saved" funds for YOUR salary. She will grow up, you will be happy. This is so offhand.
2. Education. Compare the number of budget places in colleges and universities. With us and with them. Let's bring them into line. And the "saved" funds will be spent on your salary.
3. Medicine. Do you know how much insurance costs in the USA?
Everything is relative. But this is not given to you.

[Max otto]

What about pensions? Retirement at 67 forgot

P.S. By the way, Why are all stupid patriots scolding Americans? It was as if they had established all these evil decrees, instructions, and laws.
And the truth about pensions - in the USA they retire when people themselves think that they will have enough payments and the average retirement is stat. given 57 years.
In our former USSR, all legislation is focused on fines, everything is specially designed so that you can get to the bottom of the pillar. Or does it seem to me?

5. Democracy. Trump was elected contrary to the wishes of most of the elite, the media. None of them wanted to see him as president, but it was the ordinary hard-working Americans, the inhabitants of the provinces, who made Trump the president.
In the RF. if "Moscow", "Moscow elites" do not want, you will not become any president.
And the whole metropolitan area of ​​Columbia, with Washington, directly opposed Trump.

6. Judge, prosecutor, sheriff - elected posts. In Russia, you can’t even choose a local precinct.

They had to wander around with their local guards for a day in their locker room, that's where medical boards were loaded into the Union and some warrant officers from the Kabul commandant loaded something with which I fought for a year and a half ..., walked 88th year and before withdrawal remained .....

In the article for the transfer of techniques to Tajikistan. Your comment? And this one?

There was no "half-cabinet" in those machines, I declare this as a senior foreman of the machining section of the 30th workshop of the Vannikov plant.
At the end of the 90th year, the whole workshop was re-equipped with Soviet-made CNC machines, at that time, turners of the 6th category were working on the site and one of them was Hero Sots. Labor !!!

In an article on how Japan supplied machine tools to the USSR? Senior master at a defense plant for one year as with the army ??? IN USSR? So did you serve in Afghanistan or did you work at a defense plant? My colleague served in Afghanistan. Right in your years. The last six months he served in the Kirovobad Airborne Division. Write to me where you served, I will take an interest in him to whitewash you.

And after the army I studied and worked, where did you find the contradictions ???? oh, one word " mats "

[Okolotochny]

Contradictions, without experience and senior foreman of a defense enterprise under the Union. This, in your words, is possible only with "effective managers", with the Union it was not real. You're a liar. You are not a member of the database or a paratrooper. Chatterbox. You only despise. I don’t see the point in writing anymore. You have merged.

I was not worthy to lie. Do you know how this is done? They conclude a contract for a month, a month later they conclude a new one ... Heh, remember how Medvedev increased the number of workers? The director sent us to the employment center. We come. "Guys, let us write you down in labor, but you won't work." Like they made a new company. And go to the inspection yourself, if we have no work in the city, then you will be so happy. So that.

Yes, how to say .... to someone this does not stop the lard from stealing. Everyone is waiting for how much money the Ufsinist has in 40 bags. We have a well-established system of theft and protection in the country. According to conservative estimates, a trillion dollars have flowed out of the country over the past 10 years. We would have had enough for AUG and KUG, and Almaty and Kurgan were enough. Still to medicine with education left.

[vadimtt]

It is not clear why not immediately use the technology with a fundamentally black black.
Although yes, in general it’s clear that selling the same thing twice is always more profitable.
In addition, the resource of organic diodes is noticeably smaller than usual from the backlight of the LCD panel

[Ural-4320]

I think OLED cannot be directly completely obscured with acceptable contrast. He’s right in front of his eyes, and any color on a black background has a direct vyrviglaz. Here durability is already the tenth thing, and the comfort of reading information in the first place

[vadimtt]

Well, I think the matrices there are not the same as in smartphones and their PWM works at tens of kilohertz.
So you can do without flickering and with a large dynamic range at the same time.

There will not be a second sale - there is a warranty elimination of defects.
The OLED resource in a static picture is approximately 8 thousand hours. On dynamic up to 30 thousand hours.

Elbit Lockheed property?

The helmet is made by special order Lockheed. Therefore, this product belongs to Lockheed.

Well, if the technology is Elbit, then they can make such helmets for loot and for others? For Su-57 for example?

But for some reason I think they won’t be able to, because there are not so many parallel technologies, or rather very few ...
