Farnborough: Airbus chooses Scorpion (video)
The Thales Scorpion helmet mounted sight and display (HMSD) system has been selected by Airbus Helicopters for integration with its future helicopter weapons systems, the two companies announced.

The system provides full colour symbology and video for day and night missions, in addition to targeting, sensor video, and potentially degraded visual environment (DVE) imagery.
