looks partially doable, but i would do something a little complex. im guessing thats that space vehicle in reach? im not much of a HUD person though. im not sure the altimeter meter will work without scripting though...

Vehicle Heads-Up Displays can be modified normally to include that. It's a simple matter of modifying the bitmap images and metadata of the unhi tag. The weapon HUDs work in the same way, just do some more experimentation with layering of images ("overlays" in plugin lingo) and come up with something creative. The techniques are simple but I recommend using my 256x256 bitmap template (HDM tools page, I think, or search the Halo Demo forum for it) for the bitmap images, so you will have plenty of room to design each picture. Mess with the size multiplier in the metadata, too, in case the images don't fill the viewable area enough.

Unit HUDs (unhi)
Vehicle HUDs (unhi)
Weapon HUDs (wphi)

Also look at all the other HUD-related tag types, like grhi, hmt , hud# and hudg.
