This Colour Video HUD Camera is an intelligent mix of Mil-Standard and
commercial-off-the-shelf components and operates successfully on both the
A/0A-10A and F-16A/B/ADF HUDs. The camera system provides the unique features
and reliability of a full Mil-Standard camera without the high cost.
The camera assembly is mounted on top the HUD directly behind the combining
glass so that it records precisely what the pilot sees including the outside
world and the HUD symbology. The camera converts the optical images into
electrical video signals for output to an on-board video recorder or
transmitter.
The camera electronics incorporate extensive filtering to provide exceptional,
noise-free, image quality using aircraft power. The A/0A-10A HUD camera has a
proven track record with over four years of operation on the A/0A-10A aircraft
in USAF, the ANG and the AFRES.
