A Rockwell CollinsElbit Systems of America joint venture built the Gen III F-35 HMDS and the device is scheduled for inclusion to Lockheed Martin‘s low rate initial production Lot 7 F-35s, Rockwell Collins said Tuesday.

HMDS is designed to help fighter pilots gain situational awareness during daytime or nighttime missions.

Northrop Grumman has built a distributed aperture system that will work to transmit real-time imagery from multiple infrared cameras mounted around the F-35 to the helmet, according to Rockwell Collins.
