Looks like Israel will be saving more American lives in combat; again. Imagine the holocaust Saddam Hussein would have visited upon American soldiers had Israel not destroyed Iraq's nuclear reactor! Lockheed to Buy Israeli “Smart Helmets” 15 November 2001 “Smart helmets,” which improve speed of target acquisition, developed by the Israeli company Elbit Systems will be integrated into the future combat aircraft developed by American manufacturer Lockheed Martin. As Lockheed has been tapped by the United States Air Force to produce the next generation of combat planes, the transaction with Elbit Systems is expected to be extremely lucrative for the Israeli firm. Target acquisition speed is increased with the use of the Israeli helmets by linking the aircraft’s missile targeting mechanism to the pilot’s helmet. In this way, the pilot need only turn his head to the target and the weapons systems follow suit. This gives the pilot the crucial “first shot” advantage, along with greater flexibility, in combat situations, as he need not maneuver his aircraft into a fixed firing position.
