In a new Youtube Video from Northrop Grumman, the F35’s Augmented Reality helmet “DAS” is demonstrated and described. Coordinating data from 6 IR sensors mounted on the exterior of the aircraft, the plane becomes invisible to the pilot and factors like daylight, fog, and illumination become non-issues. Like Gizmodo says:
The panorama inside the helmet effectively makes the F-35 completely invisible to the pilot. In fact, he will be invisible to himself: If he looks down to his legs, he won’t see anything but the ground. He will be able to look to any direction and get a clear view of what is happening, day or night. And not only the image is crystal clear at all times, but it also gets overlaid with information from the targeting system.
