Pilots identified an off-boresight cueing capability as one of the most urgently needed upgrades to the A-10C Weapon
System. The currently fielded JHMCS appeared cost prohibitive, driving the need for a new solution that could provide
day/night cueing capabilities. Gentex Visionix and Lockheed Martin Systems Integration initiated an accelerated
development program that delivered an affordable system (Scorpion HMCS) to the Air Force for flight test, within a
twelve month period. In addition to providing the required cueing capabilities, this new system displays color symbology
and sensor video. Operational Utility Evaluation flight tests were performed on an A-10C aircraft by the ANG and
AFRC Test Center.
