Paper Abstract
Helmet Mounted Systems (HMS) must be lightweight, balanced and compatible with life
support and head protection assemblies. This paper discusses the design of one particular
HMS, the GEC Ferranti NITE-OP/NIGHTBIRD aviator's Night Vision Goggle (NVG) developed
under contracts to the Ministry of Defence for all three services in the United Kingdom (UK)
for Rotary Wing and fast jet aircraft.
The existing equipment constraints, safety, human factor and optical performance
requirements are discussed before the design solution is presented after consideration of
these material and manufacturing options.
