Nobody waste money like the United States military and the Congress that approves this crap. $400k for 1 damn helmet

[Tony D'Amato]

Apparently they're used with the new f35 fighter plane. Which cost about $100mil each

 

[Spence]

It makes the plane they are in “invisible” so they can see the entire field of battle in real time. shyt is cool as fk and is next Gen, but we probably won’t ever get to actively use them in battle unless aliens show up and we use them in an air battle.

That's Research and Development. In a few years, that tech will trickle down to civilians just like the Internet and microwave ovens.​

 

[Mandarin Duck]

I don't know anything about helmets but that shyt look fly.

It might be worth 400k off the drip alone.

 

[east]

that seems pretty reasonable compared to other less capable helmets, check out how much nods cost for example

L3Harris GPNVG Ground Panoramic Night Vision Goggle (2376+ Min. FOM)

The L3Harris GPNVG Ground Panoramic Night Vision Goggles (2376+ Min FOM) deliver an unmatched 97° field of view with Gen3 unfilmed white phosphor technology. Designed with a ruggedized bridge and modular chassis, these NVGs enhance situational awareness and provide full peripheral vision...

and those aren't even the latest generation, these shyts here are basically predator vision and are probably gonna be $100k+ on the civilian market

You lose night vision goggles when you're on an exercise on base, they shutting the whole base down til they find that shyt.

Imagine if someone lost their jet helmet

Just ordered myself one. Hurry up Amazon

 

[Gritsngravy]

I don’t think that’s a waste of money for pilot helmets

 

[Gritsngravy]

Side note, modern day dog fights probably would like crazy, like some ace combat shyt
I should’ve became a jet pilot in the military

 

[Mike809]

i thought you meant infantry helmets.

 

[Alix217]

It basically serves as the monitors/display for the jet. No need to check screens and take your eyes off the battlefield. It's not a bad idea and they'll probably remove the computer monitors entirely in these jets.

Jokes or not, this is a fact. Random shyt trickles from Military tech as well as space tech down to the consumer level.

 

[Jekyll]

Oh it aint being wasted. This is lining those same congress peoples pockets. You’d be suprised the amount of gov personnel with ties to these govt contractors. Its an open secret that you can overcharge the govt.
