Abstract: Enhanced vision system for assisting aircraft piloting, the system including a line-of-sight detector for determining the line-of-sight of the pilot of the aircraft, a head mounted display (HMD) worn by the pilot, and a processor which receives the determined line-of-sight from the line-of-sight detector, receives a spatial image of the external scene to the aircraft, generates symbolic information respective of the aircraft piloting, and superimposes the symbolic information onto the spatial image to produce a combined spatial and symbolic image, the HMD displaying the combined spatial and symbolic image to the pilot in real-time, in alignment with the determined line-of-sight. The spatial image may be an image combined from a sensor image and a synthetic image. A communication interface may be coupled to the HMD allowing the pilot to receive and confirm flight instructions.

Abstract: A method and system for providing navigational data required to guide an air-to-air missile to a target. The missile is equipped either with an infrared seeking sensor or a radar system. The trajectory of the target is predicted on the basis of a series of location measurements. A flight path of the missile is predicted such that the missile will intercept the target. Based on the predicted missile flight path, signals corresponding to the required rotational angle of the missile's sensor or radar antenna are generated and supplied to the sensor or radar's rotation control unit to cause the missile to move along the predicted flight path.
