These types of equipment are made only to be functional. Not to be pretty. I guess those lumps on the top contain motors for head up display control. Why smooth them into the design when it adds nothing? All that's needed is to avoid sharp bits that could snag something, which they have done. Steve

There are no motors, and if there were, they wouldn't need to be that big.> Why smooth them into the design when > it adds nothing?

ChairmanOfTheBored <RUBored@crackasmile.org> hath wroth:> No. Those ARE the HUD devices. There are no motors, and if there >were, they wouldn't need to be that big.According to the accompanying article at: <http://www.mod.uk/DefenceInternet/DefenceNews/EquipmentAndLogistics/NewCombatHelmetIsAVisionOfTheFuture.htm> the instruments are projected directly onto the pilots visor. It's also listed as a "developmental" helmet, which means the aesthetics committee has yet to provide their input and modifications. -- Jeff Liebermann jeffl@cruzio.com 150 Felker St #D http://www.LearnByDestroying.com Santa Cruz CA 95060 http://802.11junk.com Skype: JeffLiebermann AE6KS 831-336-2558
