F-35 Helmet Bug Fix?


     Bloomberg reports the Pentagon has developed a fix for the pilot helmets problems on the F-35.

 “In partnership with the F-35 Joint Program Office and our U.S. Navy customer, we’ve been working to transition the helmet technology from a traditional LCD to an Organic LED system,” Program Manager Jim Gigliotti said by email. Lockheed Martin did not provide a figure for the number of helmets requiring modification or the upgrade cost.

     A squadron of the fighter jets is due in Montgomery for the Alabama Air National Guard in 2023.

  1. What's an "organic" LED system?

    Organic meat and chickens I can understand.
