DEFENSE

The Navy has introduced a 3D-printed visor for the Joint Helmet Mounted Cueing System (JHMCS), enhancing aircrew safety and training while significantly reducing costs to $870 per unit, a 65% savings. This initiative, led by PMA-205, streamlines production and delivery times from years to weeks, supporting a sustainable supply chain and addressing the annual requirement of 40 visors. The new design ensures compatibility with existing Helmet Display Units, reinforcing the Navy's focus on readiness and efficiency.
