Abstract

There is a view that the cockpit of the future might be configured without a Head Up Display (HUD) and that the HUD functions will be replaced by a Helmet Mounted Display (HMD). This paper compares the two display types and examines the obstacles to establishing an HMD as a Primary Flight Instrument. The conclusion is that the accuracy of either display with 'dumb' weapons is comparable at low level, but neither is adequate at high level. The integrity of an HMD is deemed inadequate at present.
