1. An information system for a pilot of an aircraft, comprising:
a. an aircraft sensor system affixed to the aircraft adapted to provide a location of the aircraft, including an altitude of the aircraft, speed of the aircraft, and directional attitude of the aircraft;
b. a head position sensor system adapted to determine a location of the pilot's head within a cockpit of the aircraft and a viewing direction of a pilot wearing the helmet;
c. a head mounted display comprising a see-through computer display through which the pilot sees an environment outside of the aircraft with computer content overlaying the environment to create an augmented reality view of the environment for the pilot; and
d. a computer content presentation system adapted to present computer content to the see-through computer display at a virtual marker, generated by the computer content presentation system, representing a geospatial position of an asset moving within the environment outside of the aircraft, such that the pilot sees the computer content from a perspective consistent with the aircraft's position, altitude, attitude, and the pilot's helmet position when the pilot's viewing direction is aligned with the virtual marker.
