This is a good point Amir..The last project that Hughes Aircraft had started with IEI (this is 1978..installation of hardware was almost done in the Lab) just before revolution happened was a pilot's Helmet mounted Tracking of Target where the Telescopic Sight Unit (EO ball of today version) and the cannon would follow the direction of pilots helmet in Iranian Cobras..So you can guess 43 years later we now have HMDS and sensors will direct the pilot where to look !!and Cobras will get it first...A good point is that the helmet could actually be for helicopters, ala Apache. That would actually make a bit more sense considering Iranian heliborne weapons and systems development is ahead of their fixed-wing counterparts. Could be used on deeply upgraded Cobras or Shahed-216 (if it's ever finished).
