TeleDevices - Model A-10 HUD - Head-Up Display System (HUD)
The Head-Up Display (HUD) is an element of the A/OA-10 navigational system and is considered a subset of the A-10A Inertial Navigation System`s (INS), which interfaces to the Integrated Fire and Flight Control Computer (IFFCC) and HUD Control Panel. The HUD provides the pilot with a visual display of weapon delivery and target information in both day and night operations. In addition, the HUD also provides real-time simplified visual aids for normal flight operations.
TDL engineers redesigned HUD system`s Low Voltage Power Supply (LVPS), LVPS CBA, Ambient Light Sensor board etc. Mentor Graphics EDA tools such as DxDesigner, ModelSim, PADS were used for schematic capture, simulation and PCB layout. TDL engineers reverse engineered FPGA and developed a complex algorithm for performing positional distortion correction of the symbols. TDL engineers developed LabVIEW/PXIe based Automatic Test & Calibration System to implement an innovative display calibration procedure using very high resolution camera. TDL engineers used MatLab for performing triangulation algorithm and developed software to generate distortion correction data in a proper format for high precision calibration of the HUD.
