As fighter pilots prepare to command drone wingmen, BAE bets on new helmet tech

BAE Systems has unveiled innovative helmet display technology designed to transform fighter pilots into one-person command centers. The defense company anticipates that pilot workloads will expand significantly, moving beyond aircraft operation to include the direction of drone swarms. This new technology aims to support pilots as they prepare to command drone wingmen, ensuring they can effectively manage the increased operational demands associated with directing multiple autonomous systems while maintaining control of their own fighter aircraft.
