Can't use the AH-64 set-up. The Apache uses a closed cockpit where infared sensors track the helmet. It would be difficult to use this system in a tank/AFV. A different system is under R&D, but since the idea is to fight more 'buttoned up' we would not need it. A slew-to-cue system where a scout finds targest and hands them to the tank or an intelligent targeting system (targets anything not sending IFF as friendly and lets the gunner select his target) may be better. There are several other systems like a VR gunnery station or flatscreen tough panels. The list is actually open ended now and "Star Trekish" ideas are actually being researched and developed into usefull items.

Good to hear it ... thanks for the update.
