Abstract
A helmet sight comprises a collimator for projection of the image of a sighting graticule into the ocular field of the wearer of the helmet and sensors for measurement of the angular position of the helmet with respect to a structure, such as the cockpit of an aircraft. The collimator for projection gives the graticule a position whose angular deviation .DELTA.a, .DELTA.b with respect to a reference orientation linked to the helmet has remained an increasing function of the angular displacements of the helmet with respect to the reference structure.
