It may be some sort of targeting monocle such as the Apache pilots use?

Some kind of optic, obviously. Hard to imagine what it could be for!

I suspect something to do with the JHMCS. If you have an account on
www.f-16.net post the question there. If not, I can but is the picture yours? I don't want to use someone else's image without their permission.

Seconded. Some kind of helmet sensors in addition to the
actual JHMCS sensor itself.

The image is mine, taken at the Florennes airshow in Belgium last weekend. I don't have an account on F-16.net so I would be pleased if you could post it there Panther

Doesn't JHMCS use RFID tracking? That's what the strut to the 9 o'clock of the seat is.
