The addition of vision enhancement, display and control functions to aviator's headgear is operationally attractive. Fast jets and helicopters currently under development call for headgear with a combination of these novel facilities.

    This paper reviews the recent history of such helmet systems, which demonstrate admirably the inventiveness of the design teams. However, there are attendant perceptual and operational concerns and the addition of extra components invariably compromises basic ergonomic qualities.

    It is suggested that a new design philosophy, which emphasizes functional integration rather than the incorporation of compatible sub-systems, has become essential. This will be assisted significantly when key optical and electro-optical technologies become mature.
