Infantryman 2000

Accoding to this book I have in my paws (published mid 1980s) a UK defence company came up with this concept. Suffice to say apart from NVGs on our kevlar helmet, plus body cameras it is nothing like the concept lol.

Cheers

TBF, that HUD helmet was trialled by Warminster in the early/mid 90s.

It was shite, as the technology wasn't up to the concept-one of the greatest drawbacks (when it worked) was user disorientation, especially with rapid lateral head movements.

. . . and I never got my own jet pack.
