This HUD was designed to serve as a form/fit/function replacement for Cobra Helicopter HUDs in a ground-based simulator. It uses the same HUD chassis used by the flight hardware, replacing the CRT image source with a liquid crystal display. The video interface is standard VGA (640 x 480) monochrome. Power is supplied via a 110 vac power cord.

The HUD controls on the front panel and the brightness control located on the side are not internal to the unit. Instead, they are routed through a 25-pin connector on the back of the HUD. The HUD control for the day/night mode is accessed by moving the night filter into place within the optics.
