Vision Systems International, San Jose, Calif., was awarded a $17 million initial contract from Boeing for the Joint Helmet Mounted Cueing System (JHMCS) in 145 F-15E Strike Eagles. The contract includes dual-seat capable JHMCS hardware and pilot equipment to include helmets and visors. Deliveries have already started and will continue through mid-2009. The JHMCS allows the pilot to cue onboard weapons and sensors against enemy aircraft and ground targets without the need to aggressively turn the aircraft or place the target in the Head-Up Display (HUD) for designation.
