F-35B helmet's night-vision camera failed during test flight
By: Mackenzie Wolf, July 20, 2017

The $400,000 helmet for the F-35B has a major problem: The night-vision camera does not work when there is no moon, according to video of a test flight aboard the amphibious assault ship America in November.

The problem will take months to fix, said F-35 Joint Program Office spokesman Joe DellaVedova.  Potential solutions are expected to be tested in the fall, he said. Military.com first reported on Wednesday about the defect.
