F-35 Gen III Helmet Mounted Display System (HMDS) has been dubbed as a super helmet, when compiled with one of the most complex weapons systems ever: the F-35 Lightning II.

This awesome helmet has essentially been built to accompany Lockheed Martin-built fighter jet, which can land even vertically. A jet that fine, would necessarily require a finer helmet.

Besides the information like altitudes, targeting, and airspeed, this helmet can also see through walls.

How? Cameras mounted around the aircraft via Northrop Grumman’s electro-optical Distributed Aperture System (DAS), records, and sends back the data. The wearer can control the images being shown by simply tuning the head in the direction they want to capture.

“When the helmet’s tuned correctly to the pilot’s eyes, you almost step into this other world where all this information comes in,” said Al Norman, an F-35 test pilot for Lockheed Martin. “You can look through the jet’s eyeballs to see the world as the jet sees the world.”

The others feature described would be biocular view, High Accuracy Tracking, Active Noise Reduction, night vision, ejection capacity up to 550 KEAS, lightweight and comfy, voice recording and Multiple Interpupillary Distance setting.
