F-22 Raptors need helmet-mounted cueing system to take full advantage of AIM-9X
F-22 猛禽需要头盔指示系统来充分利用 AIM - 9X

By:   Dave Majumdar Washington DC


原文正文：

Even after the US Air Force's fleet of Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor air superiority fighters starts receiving full Raytheon AIM-9X Sidewinder high off-boresight missle capability in 2017, the aircraft needs a helmet-mounted cueing system (HMCS) to use the weapon to its full potential. That is even taking into account the AIM-9X Block I and Block II's helmetless high off-boresight (HHOBS) capability.
甚至在2017年美国空军洛克希德马丁F-22猛禽空中优势战斗机机群开始接收整个雷声AIM-9X响尾蛇高离轴角发射导弹的能力之后， 飞机还是需要一套头盔指示系统(HMCS)来使用武器以充分发挥其潜能。这还甚至考虑到AIM-9X Block I与Block II的无头盔（瞄准具）高离轴角发射(HHOBS)能力。

"Without a helmet, that means the missile will need a very tight cue from somewhere," one F-22 pilot says. "[That's] something that is not always available in a dynamic, turning environment."
以为F-22的飞行员说，“如果没有头盔（瞄准具），就意味着导弹需要从其他地方获得一个非常密封的导引头。”（PS. tight cue是不是翻译成“密封导引头”？我查了一下，头盔瞄准具是利用工业自动化控制的’无线电相关定位‘原理解决头盔瞄准具与红外导弹导引头的联动控制，用以解决扩大空对空导弹的“离轴”发射能力。根据这些描述，我理解这里的cue应该是说导弹的导引头吧，tight的话原意有紧的、密封的，如果没有头盔瞄准具，是不是就应该需要密封的导引头？欢迎大家给我科普谢谢～） “当然这东西在一个动态、旋转的环境下并不是总能获得的。”
（这个翻译更合理，多谢@PLA 指正---》）如果没有头盔瞄准具，那么响尾蛇弹发射前需要的精确引导就得来自于其它方式，比如靠通过机头指向来满足射界要求和发射条件，而这种发射条件在实际空战格斗中往往很难实现，或者转瞬即逝难以把握。

To be clear, the AIM-9X is a huge improvement over the AIM-9M version even without a HMCS . "Don't get me wrong, it will still be better than having a 9M, but it won't be anything close to what a fighter with a helmet and an externally carried missile has," the pilot says. "Hence, probably not the savior we've all been waiting on."
需要明确，AIM-9X较AIM-9M相比已是一次巨大的改进，即使没有头盔指示系统(HMCS)。“别误会，这当然比用9M更好，但它不会是接近于有头盔和外部装有导弹的战斗机的一个东西。” 飞行员说。 “因此，可能并不是我们一直等待着的救世主。”

The USAF has a number of options available, if funding could be secured. One relatively simple plug-and-play solution is Gentex's Scorpion HMCS, which is a color, paddle-based system that is already in use on some versions of the Lockheed F-16 flown by the USAF's Air National Guard. Another possibility would be VSI's Joint Helmet Mounted Cueing System II (JHMCS II), a version of which uses an optical tracker to measure head movements.
美空军有许多可选方案，只要资金可以确保。其中相对简单的一个即插即用的方案就是Gentex的蝎子头盔指示系统(HMCS), 这是一个彩色的带开关(paddle这里是指开关？手动遥控杆？）的系统，该系统已经被美国空军的空中国民警卫队所飞的洛克希德F-16的某些型号中使用。另一种可能性则是VSI的联合头盔指引系统II（JHMCS II)，就是使用一种光学跟踪装置来测量头部移动的系统。

At longer ranges, the Block II AIM-9X, especially, will be a huge improvement for the Raptor. "LOAL [Lock-on after Launch] is great for the longer range shots, which will be nice as it basically gives us an additional two BVR [beyond visual range] weapons," the pilot says.
在更远的距离上，尤其是Block II AIM-9X 将对猛禽有巨大的改进。飞行员说： “LOAL[射后锁定]更适合较远距离的射击，这将非常好，因为这基本上给我们额外的2个BVR[超视距] 武器。"

Even without a HMCS, the AIM-9X cannot be fielded to the Raptor fleet soon enough.
即使没有头盔指示系统(HMCS)，AIM-9X也不会很快地被投入到猛禽机群中。

"We've been screaming for years that the F-22 needs to have the capability fielded, and fast," the Raptor pilot says. "Once the jets transitions from BVR [beyond visual range] to WVR [within visual range] with only AIM-9M-9s it is hugely vulnerable."
“我们已经叫了多年F-22需要装备这样的能力，而且要快速。” 猛禽的飞行员说。 “一旦喷射机从BVR[超视距]迁移到WVR[视距内] ，却只有AIM-9M-9s, 那将不堪一击（极其脆弱）。”

The huge advantage offered by such a high off-boresight missile in combination with a HMCS may give a third or fourth-generation fighter a decided edge over the fifth-generation Raptor (with AIM-9Ms) in a visual range encounter.
这种高离轴角发射导弹结合一套头盔指示系统(HMCS)索提供的最大优势是，在一个可视距离的相遇下，相较第五代猛禽（带AIM-9Ms），可以给一个三代或者四代战斗机一个明确的界限。
