Heads-up display/Legends

"A red light began blinking on his HUD, indicating that something had a target lock on him, and then a second burned to let him know a missile had been launched at him."

- Michael A. Stackpole

A Heads up display or HUD was a viewscreen projection that functioned as a combat aid.

Starfighters and other combat spacecraft were usually equipped with a HUD, located on the cockpit window. It consisted of a targeting reticle and threat indicator display, which notified pilots of successful laser or warhead locks made on other craft, or made by enemy craft on themselves, respectively.

HUDs were also sometimes installed in helmets to assist warriors or bounty hunters. The visors of Mandalorian helmets and clone commando helmets contained HUDs that provided information to the user and were capable of searching databases or uploading maps.
