The Ministry of Defense has unveiled a prototype F-35 joint strike helmet that will “enable fighter jet pilots to see through their own aircraft.” The head gear being developed for the hi-tech F-35 Joint Strike Fighter(JSF) is currently being tested by MoD scientists at Boscombe Down in Wiltshire.

It will superimpose infra-red imagery on to the visor to allow the pilot to look through the cockpit floor at night and see the world below – like something out of Terminator.

The head gear, currently at prototype stage, is being developed by Vision Systems International and Helmet Integrated Systems Limited.

This is surely, the scariest helmet ever.
