BAE Systems has developed a solution to the problem of helicopter low visibility landings. The passive part of the system displays 3-D conformal symbology on a tracked helmet mounted display. This provides the pilot with situational awareness while the helicopter is in brownout/whiteout conditions. A Millimetric Wave Radar detects any stationary or dynamic obstacles within the landing zone. The pilot is presented with a synthetic view of the area which is produced using advanced signal and display algorithms.
