Boeing has begun flight tests of the Joint Helmet Mounted Cueing
System integration in the aft cockpits of the US Navy's F/A-18F
Super Hornet. The testing, performed under a recent $ 4.4 million
contract from the US Navy, marks the first time both pilot and weapon
systems officer have used the helmet in an F/A-18F during flight.
Deliveries of the aft-cockpit helmets are scheduled to begin in October
2007.
