Arnold Schwarzenegger eat your heart out: the new Terminator-style fighter helmet\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/span>This is the helmet that will also the next generation of fighter jet pilots to see through their own aircraft. Honestly.<\/p>\n

The head gear is being developed for the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter(JSF) and is currently being tested by Ministry of Defence scientists at Boscombe Down in Wiltshire.<\/p>\n

An MoD spokesman said: \u201cUnlike other jet aircraft the JSF, which is planned to replace the Harrier, does not have a traditional head-up display. Instead the computerised symbology will be displayed directly on to the pilot\u2019s visors, providing the pilot with cues for flying, navigating and fighting the aircraft.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt even will superimpose infra-red imagery on to the visor to allow the pilot to look through the cockpit floor at night and see the world below – like something out of Terminator. This is absolutely the cutting edge of technology. No other helmet will be able to do this.\u201d<\/p>\n

The helmet, currently at prototype stage, is being developed by Vision Systems International and Helmet Integrated Systems Limited.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
