A Helmet-Mounted Sight is essentially a Heads-Up Display that tells your fighter/chopper where you want the bullets or missiles to go. It also can show what friendly or enemy fighters are equipped with to provide Stat-O-Vision. This can appear in modern or sci-fi settings, but only the most elite soldiers or very powerful single combatants are likely to have it equipped. This trope is becoming more Defictionalized as time goes on. Sister Trope of Laser Sight, when a laser pointer shows where the gun points. Compare and contrast Puppet Gun, a gun used for aiming a much bigger weapon. |

Prey (2022): The Predator changes out the plasmacaster for an arrow that tracks based on the helmet-mounted sight. Naru then defeats the Predator by stealing the helmet and propping it up so that the sight is aimed right at the Predator's head. When the Predator launches an arrow, it kills the Predator instead of her. | |

The Empire Strikes Back: Boba Fett's helmet has an "antenna" with a black rectangle at the end that can be rotated 90 degrees to go over the visor. He's seen with it lowered while flying the Slave I, and The Mandalorian also shows that it's part of his jetpack missile's targeting system. In Star Wars: Bounty Hunter it's also used to scan for and mark bounties, complete with a list of crimes and value(s) for bringing in dead or alive. | |

Overwatch: Soldier 76 wears the Tactical Visor. When activated for his ultimate, a red holographic display shows him exactly where to aim for the best shots, making all of his attacks in-game hit the target regardless of aim. | |

Halo: The UNSC Armed Forces equip its soldiers with neural interfaces in the back of their skulls. One of its many functions is to help identify friend from foe by lighting people up in different colors. The purpose is to prevent friendly fire. | |

Macross Zero: The helmet of the prototype VF-0 Valkyrie tracks the pilot's eyeballs in order to acquire targets for the mecha's head-mounted cannons. Presumably, this later became a standard feature, but this is one of only two times in the entire Macross franchise we actually see how it works, with the other being a blink-and-you'll-miss-it moment with Ozma in Macross Frontier. | |

Full Metal Panic!: The Arm Slaves require the pilot to wear a special headband over their forehead so the cockpit can track their head motions. This in turn allows the pilot to control the facing of the Arm Slave's head by moving their own. Since many models of Arm Slave mount machine guns in their heads, this allows the pilot to direct point defense literally at a glance. | |
