What is a head-up display?
A head-up display or HUD, as it’s widely known, is a see-through display that sits directly in a pilot’s line of sight, significantly increasing their situational awareness. The system presents real-time, critical flight information overlaid onto a view of the outside world, allowing pilots to digest vital data with a ‘head-up, eyes-out’ approach.
LiteHUD is a small and compact HUD, offering space and weight advantages paired with the latest digital display technology, revolutionary waveguide optics and highly reliable electronics.
Thanks to its ultra-compact design, LiteHUD can be integrated into almost any cockpit; from turboprop trainers, to the fighters of tomorrow. In fact, the low-profile HUD is even compatible with next-generation cockpits that also feature a large area display; a combination that’s not typically possible with a conventionally sized HUD.
To date, LiteHUD has been selected for the Hurkus-B trainer, Scorpion jet, and the Advanced Hawk concept demonstrator; along with a selection of other undisclosed platforms.
