Various mission requirements for all weather operations are reviewed. In particular some of the most important features for military applications are outlined. Some of the basic relations between increasing display sophistication and increasing control sophistication are discussed. Also the influence of various functions on the degree of control automation as it seems desirable for future systems under the aspect of man machine interaction are taken into consideration. The controls and displays arrangement of some representative helicopters of presently operational helicopters are described. An outline of the goals and results of some experimental and research programs is given. The characteristics of presently operational helicopters are compared with the technologically feasible solutions taking into account some of the economic constraints as initial cost, operational cost and reliability. In an outlook at the future some basic requirements for the controls and the displays operation are established.
