DmitriKozlowsky Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 After LOAD ALL, Load HMQS has a dot, signifying that it is functional. Yet The reticle never appears for any weapons, AG or AA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yurgon Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 The A-10C (ours, at least) doesn't have the JHMCS; we've got the Scorpion HMCS instead. In order to switch it on, the Scorpion HMCS Power Switch on the HMCS Integrated Control Unit needs to be switched to either the ON or BATT (battery) position; for normal operations, the ON position would be the preferred one. You'll find that on the right panel, just below the TACAN controls. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King39 Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 Sorry to butt in here but what's the difference between the JHMQS and the Scorpion? I wasn't aware the A-10C used anything other than the Scorpion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solution Frederf Posted August 16, 2021 Solution Share Posted August 16, 2021 Scorpion is a Thales (acquired from Gentex, Visionix division; also Raytheon was join with Gentex) product which fulfilled the HMIT military program requirement. It is a HGU-55 (in A-10) helmet fitted color monocular device. The Thales change of owner changed the magnetic to an optical-inertial tracking system. JHMCS is an Elbit Systems/Rockwell Collins (collaboration division Rockwell Collins ESA Vision Systems LLC) product. It is derivative of DASH III and Kaiser Agile Eye by VSI. Unlike Scorpion it's not monocular and requires modification to the HGU-55 helmet. Instead of being merely compatible with also wearing NVDs the JHMCS replaces NVD function as an internal capability. Scorpion is better than JHMCS especially for AG. JHMCS's big deal was AIM-9X integration. It's older. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both are things that the older JHMCS on the Hornet and Viper can't do. Oil In The Water Hornet Campaign.
