Cool JHMCS- Not like it used to be

Not too often I get to blow my own horn, so here goes,

No longer does the pilot need to swing his aircraft around to get lock-on. With the JHMCS is is now look and shoot, if I can see you I can target you!
I am a little blinded by this HMD, as I was the lead mechanical designer for this system that gives our aviators a dramatic advantage in the combat theatre...

First pictue is for day use and by utilizing the same latch system we were able to add off the shelf NVG goggles for night operations...it is so cool
