Collins Elbit Vision Systems Delivers 3,000th F-35 Gen III Helmet Mounted Display System

Defense News ,U.S :- Collins Elbit Vision Systems (CEVS), a collaboration between Collins Aerospace and Elbit Systems of America, has successfully handed over the 3,000th F-35 Gen III Helmet Mounted Display System (HMDS) to the Joint Strike Fighter. Collins Aerospace is part of RTX.

The F-35 Gen III HMDS stands out as the most advanced helmet-mounted display system globally. This high-tech system offers pilots an easy-to-use interface, serving as their main display for essential flight, tactical, and sensor information, whether it's day or night.

Daniel Karl, co-general manager of CEVS at Collins Aerospace, expressed, "For nearly 30 years, CEVS has been at the forefront of developing and delivering cutting-edge solutions to keep pilots safe and ready for battle. The HMDS ensures pilots in combat zones have unparalleled situational awareness, providing crucial information for quicker decision-making. Our team in Wilsonville, Oregon, is proud to contribute to the development and production of this technology for our warfighters, helping them succeed in future battles."

CEVS has achieved a significant milestone by delivering over 20,000 systems to warfighters, accumulating more than 1 million flight hours on various fighter aircraft platforms in 40 different models.

This accomplishment follows the unveiling of the Zero-G HMDS+ for 6th generation fighter aircraft just five months ago. Jeff Hobert, co-general manager of CEVS at Elbit America, explained, "Zero-G, our latest HMDS generation, is the lightest, most capable, and safest helmet-mounted display system ever created. It was specifically designed for next-generation fighter aircraft platforms and can also support 4th and 5th generation aircraft."
