Targeting computer linkup helmet

A targeting computer linkup helmet, also known as a targeting and tracking computer linkup helmet and a computerized gunnery helmet was a combat helmet used by Imperial gunners. The helmets assigned in weapons targeting, and were worn by gunners assigned to the first Death Star and gunners serving onboard torpedo spheres.

The helmet was cast from neutral alloy armor, and offered protection for the gunner during combat operations. The clamshell design included a polarized filter to protect the gunner's eyes from blinding flashes caused by weapons discharges, and the eye slit was used to display tracking data for the wearer. The helmets were also equipped with macrobinocular viewplates and sensor arrays to assist in the gunner in tracking fast-moving targets.
