It is no wonder that the head of the headquarters is so surprised, and it is not uncommon for domestic projects to set up supporting equipment such as helmets and sights for pilots.

The Su-27 imitation project undertaken by Northeast Aviation Manufacturing Co., Ltd. includes a supporting research and development project for Russian-made pilots' helmet sights.

The problem is that the project is in the northeast and north China, and at this moment, the head of the headquarters is in the southwest, separated from the northeast by 108,000 miles.

It stands to reason that there should be no such thing, but it turns out that this place not only magically appeared, but also made a more complex helicopter helmet.

Yes, in the nineties, the pilot's helmet of the advanced armed helicopter represented by the Apache, because it was cross-linked with the airborne infrared detection device, missile seeker, and airborne fire control device, made the pilot of the Apache armed helicopter free from complicated flight operations and target recognition, and only needed to use the rotation of the head and the gaze of the eyes, with the integrated weapon control stick, to achieve the sci-fi feat of "looking where to hit".

Based on this, the US Apache helicopter gunship was able to sweep Iraq in the 1991 Gulf War, so much so that many Apache pilots said in an interview after the war:

When I saw the Iraqi tank, it died.

For a time, people who don't know what is going on feel that the United States is too powerful, and that advanced weapons are based on who dies, and all kinds of groveling are coming one after another; and those who understand the truth also offer their knees, and they are not because of any science fiction or not, but because of a sense of sadness that the older the rivers and lakes become, the less courageous they become.

As for why, it's very simple, because you know too much, so you will understand the strength of American technology.

First of all, microelectronics, all search equipment and attack equipment are cross-linked to the helmet, which itself requires very powerful information and data solving capabilities, including chips, software, architecture, and algorithms, all of which are at the forefront of related fields.

The second is that the helmet itself has to control the weight, combined with so many things, but can not bring physical burden to the pilot, after all, the pilot often has to bear a large overload when flying, and the pressure on the neck and spine is already large.

Therefore, the overall weight of this kind of pilot helmet must be controlled below 2 kg, what is this concept, the weight of the domestic 80 type steel helmet is 1.25 kg, and the weight of the two steel helmets exceeds the specifications of this kind of pilot helmet that can be seen where to extinguish.

The problem is that nothing can be put on the steel helmet, while the pilot's helmet has to inherit a variety of integrated circuits and complex components, but even so, the total weight cannot exceed 2 kg, which requires the choice of helmet material must be high-end lightweight materials, and must be fine to each screw.

There are few high-end lightweight materials, and they are as small as the screws, which is difficult to imagine.

Finally, and most critically, the optical equipment, it is not difficult to imagine that all the information can be read by both eyes, while maintaining extremely high light transmission without affecting the pilot's normal flight vision.

Light transmission, display, integration, although it is only a small optical display equipment, but the world can make this kind of high value-added optical lens countries are only a handful, at present only the United States and Europe have the relevant industrial production capacity, other countries, including Russia can not reach the technical level of Europe and the United States.

Without advanced optical equipment, no matter how well the previous processing is, it will not be able to achieve the super ability of the pilot's helmet to see where to extinguish.

However, all this seems to be completely subverted by the straight 12 in the sky.

I saw that the Z-12 helicopter was only more than 20 meters above the ground and a Type 77 12.7mm heavy machine gun integrated on the remote control gimbal, and a spherical optical detector was installed at the nose of the machine.

But the head of the headquarters was not concerned about this, but stared directly at the movements of the Type 77 heavy machine gun and the spherical optical detector.

What does it mean that the weapon and detection equipment are not pointed by the traditional weapon remote control joystick, but the pilot can easily realize the operation of the weapon and ejection equipment by turning his head?

The helmet on the head of the pilot, who piloted the Z-12, has cross-linked the weapon with the detection system, allowing for precise control of the helmet's directivity.

In addition to the Apache and Comanche in the United States, there is no third case of this technology that realizes the rotation of the swing control cannon and optical sensor.

Because this involves a very complex technical problem, that is, the co-directional interaction and cooperation of the laser gyroscope.

That is to say, the pilot is not just swinging his head, and the weapons and detection equipment below are really dancing together, but because the three are embedded with small laser gyroscopes, and then connected in series through electrical signals and set the swing angle between the three according to the mathematical model, so that the pilot can raise his head slightly, and the machine gun and the optical detector will rise at a large angle, bow his head, and the two will follow and stare at the ground.

So much so that the machine gun and the optical probe were like the pilot's faithful companions, unconditional followers, and the pilot faced one enemy after another.

Regardless of anything else, this scene alone made the head of the headquarters look enthusiastic and excited.

I really didn't expect that one day I could see this kind of advanced helmet system comparable to the world on domestic helicopters, even if it is only a temporary modification and ugly Zhi-12, but the head of the headquarters believes that it will not be long before domestic armed helicopters will be equipped with this kind of advanced pilot helmet system.

"Chief, when did you come here?"

Just when the head of the headquarters looked up at the helicopter in the sky, a familiar shout came from his ears, and the head of the headquarters looked for the sound, only to find that Zhuang Jianye ran over against the wind rolled up by the helicopter at some point.

The head of the headquarters was not polite to Zhuang Jianye, pointed to the helicopter that was landing, and shouted regardless of the noise: "You made the new helmet on the pilot's head?"

Zhuang Jianye smiled proudly when he heard this, and shouted in the loudest voice he could shout: "That is the latest research result of our Tengfei Group Optoelectronic Research Institute, the 'Sniper' Pilot Helmet Integrated Display System." ”

"Integrated display system?" The head of the headquarters immediately grasped the key to Zhuang Jianye's words, and a pair of brows wrinkled subconsciously: "Not just the display target?"

Zhuang Jianye's smile became brighter and brighter: "The realistic goal is only the primary function of the 'Sniper' pilot helmet integrated display system, and its real ability is to see through everything!"
