For years, the Belgian Air Force's 1st Fighter Squadron 'Stingers' utilised the Joint Mounted Helmet Cueing System (JHMCS) aboard their F-16AM/BM (MLU) Fighting Falcons. However, Due to an increase in spare parts pricing on the JHMCS, over the last two years, Belgium has decided to convert to Thales' Scorpion Head-Mounted Display (HMD) helmet on its Lockheed Martin F-16AM/BM (MLU) Fighting Falcons
Recognizable via a single eye piece over the pilot’s right eye, the Scorpion is a full-colour HMD. It provides the pilot with a high-level of situational awareness in theatre and the capability to rapidly designate actions with a high degree of accuracy provided by the displays of what the system is seeing such as radar, missiles, and datalinks.
