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

[Justin Nitsuj]

It's another way for them to say "We got money to blow. fukk helping the poor. Hold ya own nuts, bytches"

 

[Wubzy]

These helmets literally let you see through the plane (f35)

Would come in real handy to defeat the next coronavirus that tries to enter American airspace

 

[Dafunkdoc_Unlimited]

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

Hell no it isn't. You ever seen what the instrument panel inside a tactical aircraft looks like????.....

Now, imagine trying to engage an enemy aircraft while looking down at ALL that.​

Let ET and his cousin cross that ozone layer, they getting smoked off that bicycle

"We now have technology to take ET home. No it won't take someone's lifetime to do it. There is an error in the equations. We know what it is. We already have the means to travel among the stars, but these technologies are locked up in black projects, and it would take an act of God to ever get them out to benefit humanity. Anything you can imagine, we already know how to do it. " - ben rich, director of skunk works

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.

Invisible death

 

[HabitualChiller]

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

That's some Halo 3: ODST type shyt right there.

100mil plane

What y’all expect lol

 

[Da_Eggman]

Getting ready to go to war with whatever crosses into the atmosphere

Let ET and his cousin cross that ozone layer, they getting smoked off that bicycle lil jojo style

Yeah, they're just being made to waste fuel and keep the money flowing.

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

Not sure any of it will have any value for civilian products - at best it's a way to line the pockets of contractors and to keep the military-industrial-complex juiced while also being a subsidy for state-side tech companies

 

[PortCityProphet]

Waste of money as usual when it comes to the govt
fukk them pilots they already got the best gear in the world. How bout build some shyt that helps the people instead killing em. Sorry sack of shyt government

we actually should be budgeting for that, especially with our nuclear weapons, It may seem like a waste to but with how big our universe is and how clueless we are to things out there simply put, that possibility will always be there for intergalactic invasion.

 

[Heafcliffe]

Don't let this man near those helmets

I guess you've never seen the cockpit of a commercial plane.....
