Head Up Display

The Head-Up Display (HUD) is a semi-transparent screen positioned directly in front of the pilot’s line of sight. It projects critical flight data, such as altitude, speed, heading, pitch, and roll, onto the windshield, allowing the pilot to access essential information without diverting attention from the forward view. The display also integrates navigation data and weapon status information. Pilots can customize the information shown on the HUD using the HUD Control Panel. HUD is a part of Up-Front Control (UFC) along with Integrated Control Panel (ICP) and Data Entry Display (DED).

This is the most common HUD found in the F-16s (WAC HUD)
