Abstract
According to an aspect, a helmet system includes a communication interface configured to receive a plurality of aircraft data, a memory system configured to store the aircraft data, and a processing system operably coupled to the communication interface and the memory system. The processing system is configured to format the aircraft data into a plurality of time sequential records, store the time sequential records in the memory system, and manage storage within the memory system as a circular buffer.
Claims20
A helmet system comprising:
- a communication interface configured to receive a plurality of aircraft data comprising a copy of data stored in a crash survivable memory unit of an aircraft received on a first wireless link, and the aircraft data comprising flight data including one or more of aircraft and engine parameters received on a second wireless link;
- a helmet visualization system configured to display data visible to an aircraft operator wearing the helmet system;
- a memory system comprising a data storage system configured to store the aircraft data and an operational memory configured to store values for display on the helmet visualization system;
- a processing system operably coupled to the communication interface and the memory system, the processing system configured to:
- format the aircraft data, received through the communication interface, into a plurality of time sequential records;
- store the time sequential records in the data storage system of the memory system;
- manage storage within the data storage system of the memory system as a circular buffer;
- and
- store, in the memory system, user data associated with the aircraft operator;
- and
- a helmet housing, wherein the memory system is disposed in the helmet housing.

A method comprising:
- receiving a plurality of aircraft data at a communication interface of a helmet system of an aircraft, wherein the aircraft data comprises a copy of data stored in a crash survivable memory unit of the aircraft received on a first wireless link, and the aircraft data comprising flight data including one or more of aircraft and engine parameters received on a second wireless link;
- formatting, by a processing system of the helmet system, the aircraft data, received through the communication interface, into a plurality of time sequential records;
- storing the time sequential records in a memory system of the helmet system;
- managing storage within the memory system as a circular buffer;
- and
- storing, in the memory system, user data associated with an aircraft operator;
- wherein the memory system comprises a data storage system configured to store the aircraft data and an operational memory configured to store values for display on a helmet visualization system of the helmet system, wherein the helmet visualization system is configured to display data visible to the aircraft operator wearing the helmet system;
- and
- wherein the memory system is disposed in the helmet housing.
