Circuitry throughout the suit monitored cardiac, respiratory, and neural system, and three slot-like dataports located on Vader's chest unit allowed access to collected diagnostic information. Like Stormtrooper armor, the suit was equipped with a sensitive temperature-regulation system, which could be controlled by a function box on his belt. This unit was powerful enough to allow Vader to walk the surface of icy Hoth without any additional protection. Impulse generators lacing the armor provided electrical impulses to stimulate Vader's muscles, providing him with great mobility and strength despite his severely damaged muscles and nerves. To amplify this even more, Vader's strength and constitution were boosted by chemicals created with Sith alchemy. These were provided by the life-support apparatus in his armor, and were constantly injected into him.
Vader's mask was one of the most important pieces of Vader's armor, and was vital to his survival. Without it, he would die unless in the pressurized, controlled atmosphere of one of his specially-made meditation chambers. Inside the mask were many needles that poked into his flesh to interface with him. The pressurized helmet monitored and regulated Vader's body temperature, contained radiators to diffuse heat generated by the suit's electrical systems, and contained a primary environmental sensor that continually evaluated Vader's surroundings for potential hazards. Lenses filter out light that could cause further injury to Vader's damaged corneas and retinas.They also provide infrared and ultraviolet vision, enabling Vader to see clearly in complete darkness. Sensors in the Sith Lord's helmet relay environmental data, which is then displayed as peripheral readouts. When piloting a starship, such as his personal TIE Advanced x1 prototype starfighter, Vader could slide a second layer of eye shields across the mask's eyepieces.
​
On his belt, Vader wore two small system function boxes: the one on his right featured a temperature regulation system and the one on his left contained a respiratory sensor matrix. The center buckle featured an audio enhancement unit built into the electromagnetic clasp of the system status belt. Also included in the belt buckle was an audio-enhancement unit, small tool kit, spare energy cell, and backup comlink.
​
As the suit doubled as armor, the life-support system was made to be somewhat tough, though the electrical systems themselves were delicate. Vader's armor was built around a plastoid girdle that protected the natural and synthetic internal organs in his abdomen. Though Vader's heart still functioned, his pulse was machine-regulated so that it could not quicken unless directed by the suit. More visible durasteel armor plates covered his shoulders, upper body and shins. His gloves and the padding on his chest and arms consisted of blast-dampening armor, and were made to be impervious to fire and well-protected against explosions, piercing, and poisoning. In addition, his helmet and mask kept light from blinding him. When damaged, Vader's pressure suit self-sealed against wounds and burns.

A Helmet Mounted Display, HMD, helps pilots pinpoint easier, lock onto a target, and shoot faster.
​
By moving the head and helmet rather than the entire aircraft at the target, pilots using a helmet mounted display, HMD, can rapidly lock sensors and missiles onto the target. The HMD enables pilots to better identify air and ground targets and maximise full performance. With the new night vision capability the helmet is the pilot’s ultimate ally.
​
“You can use a different technique with an HMD,” says Gripen test pilot Jakob Högberg. “HMD provides better situational awareness, the pinpointing options are simpler and we are faster at shooting.”
​
The system can also designate targets for the pilot, leading to a faster assessment of the tactical situation. A helmet mounted visor displays vital flight information such as altitude and air speed. In addition it pinpoints targets and supplies supporting tracking data. “Reality is combined with the system, since the pinpointing is superimposed over what the pilot sees,” says Högberg.
​
A HMD-system called Cobra is operational with the current Gripen C/D. For Gripen E, the Swedish Air Force and the Brazilian Air Force will use a HMD called Targo. With the Targo HMD, Gripen pilots will, among other features, get night cueing and display capabilities. The Targo system will be manufactured and supplied by the Brazilian company AEL Sistemas (AEL).
The helmet is integrated with other systems on Gripen. For maximum efficiency it is customised to the pilot’s head, thus ensuring that the visor is positioned at the right height and distance from the pilot’s eyes. The helmet sensors must also be calibrated with sensors in the aircraft so that the information is displayed in the right place in relation to reality. With customisation and calibration the pilot gets high accuracy and avoids image loss.
​
All in all, a HMD ultimately gives the pilot a new level of situational awareness and easier engagement options.
