Rostec: flight tests undergo a new helmet-mounted target designation and indication system for pilots of the Air Force (VKS) of the Russian Federation

Rostec reports that Russian specialists are developing a new flight helmet that will allow pilots to obtain all the necessary information without the need for constant tracking of data on the instrument panel. The basis of the new helmet for pilots of the Russian Air Force (VKS) is the helmet-mounted indication and target designation system from the Concern Radio-Electronic Technologies (KRET).

Press office Rostec It cites the statement of the first deputy general director of the Ryazan State Instrument Plant, the Rostec plant, Gennady Kolodko:

The development is universal and can be used both on combat helicopters and on front-line aircraft aviation. All equipment is delivered to the helicopter. I think the flight test phase should end within a year. Thanks to the new system, the time for a pilot to make a decision is greatly reduced. The pilot can, turning his head, inspect a larger space, make a decision and apply weapon.

The new helmet-mounted target designation and indication system (NTSI) is, in fact, a sight, combined with a helmet. The system projects the image from the instrument panel onto a transparent screen, which is located in front of the pilot's eyes and fixed on the helmet. The transparency of the screen allows the pilot to simultaneously monitor the external environment - visually.

If earlier systems of this kind performed exclusively the function of target designation, now the functionality has been significantly expanded.

From the press service of Rostec:

With the help of the helmet-mounted system, the pilot piloting parameters are displayed to the pilot: speed, altitude, aircraft angular position in space, and others. An image from devices that provide the pilot with artificial vision, such as an infrared viewing system, as well as a synthesized image of the relief can be displayed on the visor of such a helmet. Thus, the pilot retains effective visual control of the flight at night and in conditions of poor visibility.

It should be noted that a similar helmet system was developed by the Americans for the F-35 pilots. At the same time, potential customers of such a system are scared away by its price, which is about 750 thousand dollars. It is unlikely that the price of Russian development will be comparable to the American astronomical dollar sums ...

Now a new trend is the "transparent" cockpit. Those. situational sensors not only on the helmet, but also on the body. Everything comes down to a single picture for the operator.
The next step is remote-controlled aircraft, helicopters, tanks ... and even personal combat units. Those. people on the battlefield will certainly be. But not at the front line, but in the ZKP, in the trench, on the control plane. Unified CIUS not only for the crew of the car, but also for the platoon, company, etc. Up to the highest level.

The helmet allows you not only to look, but also to direct the weapon, in my opinion. There is a lot to do with head rotation and eye movement. Soon the concept of "jinxed" will pass into the real plane.

[Maxom75]

maybe they want to make a 3D modeling option, like in 3D glasses, well then another question: why keep the glasses transparent? Something does not fit. I won’t be surprised if helmets soon become in neural connection with the pilot’s brain, there will be horror.

That's when the "neural" connection appears, then the glasses will become well, completely opaque, and it will even be possible not to move at all, and even more so to be placed inside a single combat vehicle ... Then the electronic warfare means will become the main branch of the military

Regarding serialization: In the near future, the delivery of the Mi-28NM is planned.
However, specific dates are not called.

It looks interesting, not even usual. And how much weight does he have?

They write that 2 kg.

[FenH]

Thanks, where can I read more?

[gjv]

Quote: FenH

And how much weight does he have?

Here is what KRET writes on this issue:

A similar helmet-mounted binocular-type target designation and indication system for a helicopter pilot was recently developed at KRET. The high technical characteristics of the system while maintaining the mass of the helmet less than two kilograms make it the most advanced and unique development in Russia. By the way, weight in such a system is an important factor.
Over the past three decades, helmet-mounted systems have learned to process more information and perform more operations, and they have also become more convenient to carry. However, these helmets are still heavy. The weight of about two kilograms can become very significant, because when the plane performs a sharp turn, overload increases the weight of the helmet to 17 kilograms. The pilot needs strong neck muscles to cope with this. In this regard, a few years ago, the US Air Force developed a new simulator for strengthening the neck muscles, which equipped gyms for pilots.

[FenH]

Is American easier than ours, or about the same?

It’s hard, and information is displayed on the windshield! Initially, it was all invented with the aim of aiming ... He turned his head and the weapon was aimed in the direction of his gaze ... Everything else is from the evil one ...

[FenH]

Isn’t it easier to bring an extra screen to the airplane panel than to hang it all up on your head?

[FID]

Easier ... But not in the TREND (as it is now fashionable) ... We follow the foreign inventors - they do it there, so we need ...

[FenH]

Are pilots involved in the development, or are they already facing the fact?

[FID]

Of course, they don’t attract ... Then, they give out the finished helmet and test it ... The helmet protects the head from blows, all other functions are additions ... One of the necessary, I think, is pointing the weapon in the direction of the eye, but, further, pupil direction functions are hung, etc. Ultimately, the control of the FORCE of thought, and, there, is not far from the laser sword ... But this is my opinion of an amateur, I worked more with bombers, as for a fighter I do not know, but I think I did not go far ...

[tchoni]

Here! always tormented by this question. Indeed, in this case, the glazing of the cabin is not necessary, and you can hide it somewhere in the bowels of the aircraft, so as not to spoil the aerodynamics. And it seems to me that hanging dozens of monitors in modern conditions is not such a problem.

[Mera joota]

It should be noted that a similar helmet-mounted system was developed by the Americans for F-35 pilots.

Yeah, like ... the author lies and does not blush. On the F-35 they’re testing not a helmet with information output about flight parameters, but a helmet with information output from all sensors (which Lightning2 is rich in), thereby allowing you to look through the fuselage, these are slightly different things.

The helmet allows F-35 pilots to "see through the cockpit" of the aircraft. The computer-synthesized image is fed directly to the pilot's visors, providing him with the tips necessary for flight, navigation and combat. A fundamentally new technology has become the implementation of the possibility of vision in the infrared range, that is, with the help of a helmet, the pilot can see even at night. The helmet allows you to automatically switch between video modes. In fact, the plane becomes transparent to the pilot. Also, the helmet is a kind of command center: high-precision target designation of all onboard weapons is tied to the movements of the pilot's head and eyes.

A propos, who knows, use our French Thales TopSight helmets on the MiG-29K? Or are there sanctions ...?

[Zaurbek]

The same helmet will be used on the Mi-28 and Ka-52. This will allow you to control the arms by turning the head.

You can still boil water in it.

[Izotovp]

Our amount will be the same but in rubles. I have long noticed that the numbers are the same, only the currency is different.
A question for backfilling to knowledgeable people: why not make a semi-rigid helmet connected to the shoulder straps to remove part of the load from the head? And the second: at least some of these helmet-mounted technologies will be transferred to the infantry? The infantryman also wants to live, and such help on the battlefield, oh, how it will not hurt him !!!

On the Apaches, for about 15 years the 30mm gun is controlled by turning the head, and the readings of the x18 sight and the thermal imager are projected onto the helmet. I don’t know about the ATGM control ...

[voyaka uh]

Such a system (helmet) is an integral part of the 5th generation aircraft.
Instead of displays on the panel - displays on the helmet.
The price of the aircraft is about $ 100 million. Therefore, 500-700 thousand
dollars for a helmet - not as much as it seems.

[SkyMaXX]

Great news, I think that it is necessary to abandon the ILS, and instead make such helmets.
In general, this helmet is very, very useful for army and attack aircraft, but first of all they should be equipped with Ka-52 reconnaissance and attack helicopters, as well as Mi-28 and Mi-35. In addition to them, such a helmet will be needed by pilots of Su-25SM attack aircraft and newer modifications and modernizations, Su-34 fighter-bomber, combat training Yak-130, and, of course, advanced MiG-35, Su-35 and T-50 fighters.

[Former battalion commander]

Well, how much does THIS BANDURA WEIGHT? It may be suitable for helicopters, but hardly for flyers ... With turns, the pilot experiences overloads of up to 5-7Zh, and this bandura will simply tear off the pilot’s head or break his neck! Examples were already p.i.nd.sosn I made a similar helmet for the F-35 and they weighed their roofing felts 4 roofing felts 5 kg and ... there were complaints from the pilots (to put it mildly), and in reality no one dared to make turns in this helmet. With an overload of 5G, their helmet would weigh 25kg (!). Fly with this on your head!

[Former battalion commander]

The video said that the helmet weighs 2kg. So at overloads of 5-7Zh this helmet will weigh up to 14 kg. I think for the pilot this is already the maximum load A BUCKET WITH WATER on your head during a maneuver you will not fight much ...
