Οι Αμερικανοί είχαν αναπτύξει στα τέλη του '60 ένα σύστημα σκόπευσης επί κάσκας, το οποίο θα εκμεταλλευόταν τις δυνατότητες που προσέφερε το νέο τότε κατευθυνόμενο βλήμα AIM-9G, που είχε μεγαλύτερο φάκελο εμπλοκής σε σχέση με τις παλαιότερες εκδόσεις του Sidewinder.
Χάρη σε αυτό το σύστημα ο χειριστής μπορούσε να εγκλωβίσει ένα στόχο στο ραντάρ ή στον αισθητήρα του Sidewinder, απλώς κοιτώντας προς το στόχο και πατώντας ένα κουμπί.
What is VTAS?
The AN/AVG-8V Visual Target Acquisition Set is a head position referencing system. It is popularly referred to as a "helmet sight" system. It is used in the F-4B, J and N aircraft to determine the pilot's helmet position and thus his line of sight in aircraft coordinates. Once this information is known, a variety of tasks can be performed. In the case of the F-4, the aircraft radar or Sidewinder are selectively slaved to the pilot's line-of-sight for use in air-to-air combat. Wherever the pilot looks, the radar or Sidewinder "look". The pilot merely superimposes the collimated VTAS reticle image upon a target aircraft, actuates a trigger switch on the control stick and causes the radar or sidewinder to lock onto the target aircraft. He can then deal with the target using his conventional on-board fire control systems.

Windows: A 32 bit extension and graphical shell,
for a 16 bit patch to an 8 bit operating system, originally
coded for a 4 bit microprocessor, written by a 2 bit
company, that can't stand 1 bit of competition. Good thing
there's not any.

...Θα συνεχίσω λέγοντας ότι αυτό το γεγονός ανατρέπει τη διάχυτη εντύπωση ότι οι Ρώσοι ήταν οι πρώτοι που ανέπτυξαν τέτοια σκοπευτικά συστήματα.
