BAE Systems Introduces New Lightweight Head-Up Display
BAE Systems unveiled a new lightweight, compact Head-Up Display (HUD) for use in commercial and military aircraft on Wednesday.
LiteWave is a laptop sized HUD mounted above the pilot’s head which presents critical information, such as direction, altitude and speed, directly in their line of sight. Being 70% smaller and lighter than a traditional HUD, LiteWave can be fitted in aircraft with even the most limited cockpit space. It’s also up to 80% faster to install and its simple design makes maintenance quicker and cheaper.
LiteWave can be easily adjusted to suit any individual flying position and allows the pilot to maintain excellent situational awareness, even during poor weather or at night. It is now available to begin flight trials for future customers on commercial and military aircraft.
LiteWave is manufactured at BAE Systems’ Electronic Systems site in Rochester, UK.
