New fighter pilot helmet delivers night vision without goggles
Fighter pilots have access to helmets with amazing abilities. However, they still have to strap on heavy night vision goggles to fly in the dark -- an all too literal pain in the neck. Much to aircrews' relief, BAE Systems wants to make that clunky headgear a distant memory. Its brand new Striker II helmet includes a night vision camera that projects its footage on to the visor's high-resolution display, giving the pilot a good look at the outside world without the need for extra equipment. The tech should be far more comfortable during lengthy missions, especially in sharp turns where G-forces make any added weight feel that much worse.
USB missile launcher, round two: now with lasers!
We're not really sure how many people need a $50 piece of laser-guided artillery to arm their workspaces with, but when your adversaries have regular USB missile launchers and circus cannons, we feel that it's important to stay on top in the office space arms race. Fortunately our buddies at Engadget Chinese have found the Striker II, which comes with a Level 3 precision guidance system (whatever that means). It may have something to do with accompanying 3D software (pictured), although we don't quite get what that city in the background is all about, nor why the missiles are pointed toward the user -- so you may want to get that guidance system looked at before you aim it at your nearest enemy.[Via Engadget Chinese]
