ABSTRACT:
A laser illuminated helmet mounted sight that determines helmet or sight position from an externally mounted light source. The electronics, including light sources and detectors, are on the helmet. Also, no electrical cables or mechanical linkage is connected to the helmet. The helmet only has passive reflectors for reflecting light beams from a laser source. The return times and directions of the returning light beams processed by off-helmet electronics, result in a position indication of the helmet.
