Abstract :
The article describes the integration of a synthetic vision system into a pilot suit. The integration consists of designing the hardware part of the system - choosing the proper components and their placement into the pilot suit and helmet and modifications to the synthetic vision software. The integrated system can be used in the general aviation where it can work as a synthetic vision system with augmented reality function or in the military domain where it can also provide a ground navigation function to locate rescue points in case of ejecting from the airplane behind the enemy lines. The technical aspects of the first prototype design are discussed in the paper.
