# Augmented Helicopter Helmet Displays This Display Gives Helicopter Pilots a Tactical Advantage By Rahul Kalvapalle | Published 2023-04-06 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/helmet-display References: [rocketcitynow](https://www.rocketcitynow.com/article/news/local/elbit-keeping-its-commitment-to-war-fighter-safety/525-402174cf-99e8-406a-8517-ffe57fb24a47) & [elbitamerica](https://www.elbitamerica.com/news/elbit-america-highlights-x-sight-capabilities-in-huntsville)  The 'X-Sight Helmet Display' is a high-tech [augmented display](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lightweight-ar-glasses) that is designed to help helicopter pilots in the tactical arena by offering advantages such as enhanced 360-degree vision and access to a range of other technologies. Developed by [Elbit America](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/antiradar-system), the 'X-Sight Helmet Display' is able to pull in data from [externally mounted cameras, sensors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tobii-glasses-x), radar detectors, neural networks and other technologies. Helicopter pilots can take advantage of 360-degree vision as well as the ability to see through rain, snow and sand, offering them an advantage in terms of safety and battlefield maneuvers. "The system can receive data from LiDAR, RADAR, and other sensors aboard a helicopter’s payload," said Matthew Boyer, Artificial Intelligence Engineering Manager at Elbit America. "Our goal is to seamlessly fuse these elements to provide as much information as possible to a pilot, while reducing their workload."
