And 'officially begun delivery to the flight units of the third generation of the helmet developed by Rockwell Collins and Elbit Systems for the F-35. The third version of the helmet has an improved camera for night vision, LCD screens optimized, automatic alignment and a new much more stable software.

The first-generation helmet was mainly used for safety testing. That second-generation equip existing units and is used by the Marine Corps, the first body in the world to declare Initial Operational Capacity of the F-35B.

The third-generation helmet, should correct the visual acuity of the second generation system problems. The pilot, wearing a helmet, does not see the physical limits of the cockpit, but the world: above, below or behind him. The driver, by turning the head, for example, will not see the tail rudder, but the sky behind it. The eyes of the pilot, in fact, be the six cameras installed on the hunt for a 360-degree view. Each portion of the sky is covered by the objective of a camera that sends real-time images to the pilot.

The visor of the helmet, then, becomes a window on the world. In addition to speed and altitude, for example, pilots should also detect hunting incoming enemies as well as the terrestrial stations to hundreds of kilometers away. This technology has a price: $ 400,000 in exemplary.

The previous versions of the helmet presented problems in the presence of turbulence. There have been cases of latency in the video that caused motion sickness in pilots. The night vision technology then was not working as it should. The "green light" obscured the pilots view. Things got so bad that in 2011 the Pentagon has commissioned BAE Systems an alternative in case the helmet being developed did not work. In 2013, it was decided to continue with that of Rockwell Collins.

The third generation of helmet offers improvements in the software listing and with night vision. Remain in force sharing issues between the fighters when they fly together. The problem does not arise when the formation is made up of two fighters. In that case, the two F-35 are able to share information to the bitter end and without problems. A formation of four fighters, however, provides an unstable real picture, providing false signals drivers on targets.

A worry the Pentagon is not so much the avionics of the helmet but its weight. A rider who weighs 60 pounds, can not wear the current helmet $ 400,000. A driver with a weight of 60 pounds (of excess tolerance and defect of two pounds), has one chance in 50,000 of suffering a neck injury in the event of expulsion. Drivers who weigh between 63 and 74 pounds, have less risk with a probability of 200 thousand of suffering a potentially fatal neck injury. Engineers are trying to reduce the weight of the helmet to prevent injuries to the neck, potentially lethal, for the drivers during ejection from the aircraft. The helmet currently weighs 5.1 pounds. The minimum safety threshold to reduce the risks threatening is 4.6 / 4.8 pounds.

According to the report of the Department of Defense, the corrections on the helmet weight are delayed by at least nine months compared to the other two identified solutions (installation of a system that will delay the deployment of the main parachute and the installation of a support panel for the head of suspenders parachutes). It would be correct to note that the restrictions will remain in force until three changes will not work. It was expected that the three corrections were implemented by the summer of 2017. The Air Force, in an email last January 8, it acknowledged that the corrections will be implemented no earlier than December 2018.
