Abstract
Next generation night vision helmet mounted displays (HMDs) are expected to have higher resolution, larger field of view and lower costs. These HMDs will be expected to provide real world images at starlight overcast with minimal scintillation, improved dynamic range and symbology. VSI is developing a series of HMDs that will meet this demand and will provide an overview of the capabilities in this paper. We will address the requirements and design conflicts associated with the development of an all digital system. Finally, we will provide insight into the capability of an "all" digital system and its potential future.
