Pilots at 
the 18th Fighter Squadron, Eielson AFB, Alaska, are using a new helmet featuring the Joint Helmet Mounted Cueing System, which provides better head protection and improves breathing and radio communication, reports journalist A1C Nora Anton. The camera, embedded in the helmet, allows ground forces to see what the pilot sees, and a projector situated at the top of the helmet displays information on the inside of the visor for the pilot. The camera is over the left eye; the projector is over the right. This news system displays a holographic image wherever the pilot looks. According to one F-16 Fighting Falcon pilot, the best thing about the cutting-edge technology is that it provides pilots with instant situational awareness.
An important U.S. Air Force E-3 Sentry AWACS command and control plane was among the aircraft damaged in a March 27 Iranian missile and drone attack on Prince Sultan Air Base, Saudi Arabia, people familiar with the matter told Air & Space Forces Magazine.
