Air Force buying Zygo optics to train pilots

10/27/09


Middlefield specialty optics maker Zygo Corp. says it won a multi-million-dollar Air Force contract to supply helmet-mounted displays for training F-16 fighter pilots.

The contract is Zygo's first for training jet pilots, said John Stack, president of Zygo's optical systems division.

Stack said the Air Force wanted a lightweight system that had high visual acuity and field of view. The Army uses the same Zygo equipment to train helicopter pilots, he said.
