An advanced helmet used by F-35 fighter pilots is drawing attention for functions that go beyond protection. The third-generation Helmet Mounted Display System links the aircraft’s sensors to the visor to display flight and combat information and provide an augmented-reality view that can appear to see through the airframe. A 2015 U.S. Air Force estimate put the price at about $400,000 each. Development faced early technical and safety issues before improvements.
