Overview: Integrated Helmet and Display<br />

Sight System (IHADSS)<br />

<strong>Longbow</strong><br />

Of the three helicopters in <strong>Longbow</strong> 2, only the AH-64D itself has an IHADSS<br />

system. (The Kiowa has a simpler head-up display called the Pilot’s Display Unit<br />

— see p. 2.48 for details.)<br />

The IHADSS is a system that superimposes data onto a small eye display mounted<br />

on the wearer’s helmet. In the game, it appears as a bright green assortment of<br />

digital readings and electronic bar gauges in the middle of your viewscreen at all<br />

times.<br />

The IHADSS has four modes of operation — Hover, Bob-Up, Transition and<br />

Cruise. Each IHADSS mode best applies to a certain situation, such as when<br />

you’re navigating or hovering. (See IHADSS Flight Symbology, p. 2.14, for mode<br />

symbology.)<br />
