Abstract :
The cockpit in the new JAS 39 Gripen combat aircraft contains an electronic computer controlled display system. This display system has four areas of presentation:. One Head-Up Display (HUD) and three Multi-Function Displays (MFD). The HUD is equipped with a diffraction optics combiner which gives the display high visibility within a large field-of-view, and with minimal visual interference to the outside world. The Multi-Function Displays in the front panel are a Flight Data Display showing flight and system data, a Horizontal Situation Display that superimposes tactical information on a digital map and a Multi-Sensor Display with radar information. This system is supported by a Display Processor comprising computers, graphic generators, sensor information processors and a digital map memory. It also includes an integrated video recording system for recording pictures, information and voice
