HDTS | Elbit

Helmet Display and Tracking System (ANVIS/HUDTM 24T)

The new HDTS features enhanced situational awareness including color symbology and Line-of-Sight technology for improved mission effectiveness.

HDTS is designed to provide enhanced day/night situational awareness and increased survivability.
The new HDTS combines the legacy ANVIS/HUD^TM helmet mounted display with innovative Line-Of-Sight (LOS) technology and Day HUD capabilities, enhancing crew coordination while facilitating the operation of the helicopters’ systems.

A proven solution for utility, multi-role, assault and maritime helicopters

Operating on over 7000 helicopters, 2.5 million operational hours accumulated in
25 different platforms, the HDTS can be installed on any helicopter - eastern and western.

Tracking Capabilities

Degraded Visual Environment (DVE) Solution (Optional)

The HDTS offers 3D conformal Symbology, that superimposes mission symbols onto the outer world scenery. The system allows sorties to be carried out in Degraded Visual Environment (DVE) conditions, when outside-cockpit vision is limited by bad weather conditions, sandstorms, brownouts or whiteouts.

Reduces intercom traffic

by allowing head-movement communications between the pilots in the cockpit.

Improves mission efficiency

by slaving the helicopter’s systems to the pilot’s LOS.

Improves situational awareness

by presenting mission symbology superimposed on the outer world view. Waypoints, landing point, targets, rescue points etc. are superimposed on the outer world view.

Enhanced crew coordination and targeting

The HDTS system offers a hybrid head-tracking capability that enhances crew coordination and improves the pilot’s targeting and cueing capabilities. The hybrid tracker enables the HDTS to slave the helicopter’s systems to the pilots’ Line-Of-Sight (LOS) while displaying Electro-Optic Payload(EOP), weapon systems, and the co-pilot’s LOS symbols. The Tracker can be seamlessly installed on operational systems.

Improves crew coordination

by displaying the other pilot’s Line-Of-Sight.

Facilitates targeting

by continuously viewing the estimated impact point of the selected weapon. Weapon sight & targeting are performed via the HDTS tracking display.

Enhances helicopter self-protection

by slaving the armament to the pilot’s LOS, rapid weapons firing is enabled.

Slaves the helicopter’s systems to the pilots’ Line-Of-Sight (LOS):

EOP (Electro-Optic Payload)
Weapon systems
Navigation systems
Digital Moving Map
Other Pilot LOS (OPL)
* In the UK the system is designated: Display Night Vision Goggles (DNVG)

Round-the-Clock Mission Solution

HDTS offers round-the-clock mission solution with advanced day and night display capabilities. Both the day and night displays operate as a single integrated system. The night display is mounted on the NVG and the day display is mounted on the same NVG helmet mount, offering a seamless solution for day and night operations.

Enhanced safety and situational awareness

HDTS improves flight safety and situational awareness by reducing the pilot’s head and eye motion for cockpit scanning. Complicated maneuvers in bad weather and low visibility conditions, low altitudes (NoE) or during night can be performed safely with enhanced survivability.

Customizable display symbols

With independent displays for each pilot displaying critical flight information and multiple symbols related to the specific mission in an intuitive colored scheme, the HDTS offers a customizable solution that is compatible to the cockpit’s instrumentation and displays.
