The All-Knowing, All-Seeing Pilot

This new technology by Raytheon, is making pilots all-knowing and all-seeing, with the power to “hear” attackers in surround sound, peer through dust storms, even see right through the floor of their aircraft.

The system puts maps and video right on their wrists, meaning they are never alone, even outside the aircraft.

“We are moving into an unprecedented period of cutting-edge pilot capabilities,” said Todd Lovell, a Raytheon engineer and former V-22 Osprey pilot. “We’re using not only sight but also hearing to help pilots process all the information coming into the cockpit.”
