Looks Like 4thDD and Kopin are out, Modified (W/eMagin OLED) F-35 Helmet May Not Be Ready For Fall Test But It Appears That the Decision to Switch Has Been Made. "The "We were lucky" Video of the Carrier Pilot Flying Blind Was a Heads Up to Interested Parties. Navy official skeptical F-35 helmet will be ready for fall carrier test. "We asked them to push hard" .

"Push hard" means get us out of this mess, we'll lose our funding at this critical juncture if we cannot be assured of the safety of our pilots and $80 Million aircraft.




The Navy's top Joint Strike Fighter official, Rear Adm. Roy Kelley, is skeptical the modified helmet that fixes green-glow problems will be ready for an at-sea test this fall. Kelley, the service's F-35C fleet integration office director, told Inside the Navy during a July 25 interview at the Pentagon the helmet's organic LED technology seems promising. "We've asked them to push hard to accelerate this part of the program," he said.
