Abstract

This paper describes the design and implementation scheme of HTS(Helmet Tracking System)  providing  coincident LOS(Line of Sight) between aircraft and HMD(Helmet Mounted Display) which diplays flight and mission information on Pilot helmet. The functionality and performance of HMD system depends on the performance of helmet tracking system. The target of HTS system  design is to meet real-time performance  and  reliability  by predicting non-periodic latency and high accuracy performance. To proce and availability of a proposed approach, a robust hybrid scheme with a fusion optical and inertial tracking system are tested through a implemented test-bed. Experimental results show real-time and reliable tracking control in spite of external errors.
