Fighter Helmets Sees Through Walls, Scares Everyone

It looks like the F-35 Joint Striker Fighter helmet have read the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. Specifically, the Kill-O-Zap gun therein:

The Kill-O-Zap™ gun is a long, silver mean-looking device, the designers of which decided to make it totally clear that it had a right end, and a wrong end, and if that meant sticking blacked and evil-looking devices and prongs all over the wrong end, so be it.

And not only is the helmet scary (Predator, anyone?) it's also an awesome gadget. The European Joint Strike Fighter lacks a HUD, so all the info is beamed direct to the helmet. This means that the infra red images from plane-cams can be superimposed on the pilots vision, allowing him to "see through" the cockpit walls and floors to the outside world.
