(Sensor fusion and network centric warfare are keystone capabilities of the Q-107. A complex mission computer processes data from the wide array of sensors in order to present information in a ergonomic, customisable fashion to the pilot. The fully glass cockpit lacks a HUD, with all relevant information being provided through the Situational Awareness and Targeting augmented reality headset) |
