Abstract
The technology described herein relates to a vision module for a helmet mounted visual communication and navigation system. A vision module for a helmet mounted visual communication and navigation system may include a sensor directed out of a front portion of a vision module housing, a heads up display (HUD) combiner subassembly including two or more shells, a combiner glass, and a combiner mount frame, a cable connection interface, a laser configured to direct a laser beam out of a laser aperture in the front portion of the vision module housing, and one or more user control buttons. The two or more shells may be treated to minimize fogging and optical distortion for viewing of the combiner glass display. The sensors may include a thermal camera (e.g., a thermal imaging camera), a situational awareness sensor, and a biometric sensor.
