Thorluis2 Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 What is the purpose of the center dot on the hmss? Is it a daylight sensor? It is blocked by the visitors so I believe it is.null Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFreshPrince Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 Could it be one of the IR-LEDs used for the position tracking of the helmet? I mean it's classified, so we'll never know for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'm not an expert, so it could be something completely different.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is the nvg upgrade. The stryker 1 and 2 are completely different helmet. https://www.baesystems.com/en/product/typhoon-helmet https://www.baesystems.com/en/multimedia/striker-ii-display Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
This Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 (edited) I'm with you. And again: Not an expert. However I didn't mean the integrated night vision lens (which sits above the visor), but (what I think might be) the smaller projector lnullens beneath it (see the red circle). I think they are placed the same in both design variants. Edited February 20 by This Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorluis2 Posted February 22 Author Share Posted February 22 Might be sight cameras like the f35 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBorner Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 Might make sense to have a ambient light sensor there 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorluis2 Posted March 12 Author Share Posted March 12 Likely a recording camera, seeming that a jhmcs can fit one in the similar size https://www.atlanticcouncil.org/blogs/natosource/video-dutch-f-16s-intercept-russian-su-34-jets-over-baltic-sea/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can see it clearer in the picture below just where the hud reflects in the visor. But I'm not an expert, so it could be something completely different.. Two different helmets, the initial helmet is the Eurofighter Helmet Mounted Symbology System (HMSS) and the picture above is the BAE 'Striker II' helmet, which is a generation ahead of the old HMSS. The 'dot' on Striker II is a digital night vison camera, old school HMSS doesn't have this, so currently RAF Typhoon drivers have three helmets..day, NVG and HMSS. The dot on the HMSS may be a fixing point for the projection system, I forget now. Edit, it's the sensor. Edited March 21 by Harry.R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zahnatom Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 maybe we can get the Striker II at some point My beloved https://github.com/zahnatom/dcsmods/tree/main Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spectre11 Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Or maybe they simply make both available, or a mod enables it. Shouldn't be that diffocult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorluis2 Posted March 20 Author Share Posted March 20 Or we could use the original stryker nve system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Striker II will hopefully resolve that issue a quarter century later. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
