Abstract
Abstract A so-called integrated helmet 1 comprising head tracking means 12 and visor 3 incorporating combiners 15, 16 for displays 17, 18 and having platforms for cameras 19, 20 comprises a stiff frame 2 comprising ribs 4 and 5 which is received in a channel in the helmet and is detachably fastened there. This provides a number of advantages such as ease of mounting and demounting and exchanging components, exchange of the frame between one helmet and another and more rigid coupling between the head tracking means 12 and the reticle on the combiners 15, 16, as well as various ergonomic design advantages.
