Keep your head out, we will do the rest

In combat flights, pilots must maintain visibility of what is happening outside the cockpit, while also keeping their eyes on the critical information displayed inside the cockpit. JHMCS-II enables pilots to do both at once, by displaying critical data from inside the cockpit directly in front of the pilot, intuitively and in plain sight.

SVS (Synthetic Vision System)

The SVS grid is accurately presented on top of the terrain, providing the pilot with improved situational awareness during low altitude flights, in low visibility and harsh weather conditions.

Display of blue force DL (DataLink)

Visual indication of Blue Force formation is displayed, including all formation members, their position and a Target Locator Line (TLL) for the entire formation, or a specific member.

Weaponry status

Based on predefined logical rules, critical information is delivered in a way that attracts the pilot’s attention. For example, when a pilot switches to Dog Fight mode, a red ARM message will blink until the weapon master is switched to ARM.

Off-boresight target engagement

By slaving the missile to the pilot’s 360° line-of-sight, the missile’s engagement envelope is expanded beyond the field of view of the HUD, FCR and IRST.

Display of targeting pod video

The Laser Designation Pod (LDP) video can be displayed, enabling the pilot to verify the target, while maintaining the flight path.

Flight data

All relevant flight and mission data is displayed in either a numeric, alphabetic or graphic manner. Some information is continuously displayed (such as baro altitude), while other information is presented in specific mission modes (A/A, A/G, NAV, Land, etc.).

Display of threats

A/A and A/G threats are displayed in real time, supporting the pilot’s decision-making process and initiating self-defense activities and counter attacks.

VTV (Variable Transmissible Visor)

The visor’s unique, passive photochromic coating supports both day and night missions, as it is completely transparent in low light conditions and darkens in bright light to attenuate the light intensity passing through it.

Display of DL (DataLink) A/A targets

Data Link information is intuitively displayed in a clear, visual manner and is available to the pilot at all times.

HMD target acquisition

The Laser Designation Pod (LDP) can be slaved to the pilot’s line-of-sight for a simple, instant switch between A/G targets.

Easy BDA (Bomb Damage Assessment)

Post-weapon release, JHMCS-II continuously directs the pilot to the target for easy Bomb Damage Assessment (BDA). Time count-down can be added to the display.
