Expectations from the Modern Combat Helmet
Around the globe, soldiers and security personnel faces various hazardous ballistic risks while combatting. A soldier is most vulnerable to head injuries and not only with the bullets hitting the head but also from shrapnel and fragments from nearby explosions. Hence, they require utmost protection against lethal injuries while also ensuring the speed and deftness required in any modern combat operations. Through this article, we will try to summarize the expectations of a modern ballistic helmet.To get more news about Hard Armor Plates, you can visit bulletproofboxs.com official website.
Macromatrix Technology
Macromatrix helmet shell technology in Kavro helmets ensures that the head above our Heroes shoulder, stays well protected!Macromatrix technology within Kavro Ballistic helmet uses smart materials, techniques, and processes to deliver the performance that meets, and exceeds even the most stringent the global standards. They offer Level IIIA protection against ballistic threats, high-velocity fragments with V50 values starting from 720 m/s and also protect from high-energy rifle rounds such as AK-47 MSC, M80, NATO ball, etc.
Military helmets earlier designed to counter threats from bullets and shocks and uplift the performance of the wearer by focusing on the weight and comfort of the helmet. However, in today’s time, the ballistic helmet has progressed into suspension systems that not only make it all-day wearable also provide complete protection from blunt trauma and enhanced the soldier’s performance focusing on the design, sizing, fittings, and any added extra components during a tactical operation.Helmets can be fatal and dangerous when their own helmet’s bolt acts as a secondary fragment when hit with a bullet and can turn out to have more impact than primary fragments resulting in a life loss situation. The bolts in the Helmets weaken the ballistic integrity around the drilled area and diminish the performance of the helmet. Explaining further in the image below how a bolt is more hazardous and acts like a bullet when hit.
Therefore, to enhance a soldier’s performance and confidence, the ballistic helmets must be free from bolts to provide uniform protection on the overall outer shell.MKU’s advanced technology such as Macromatrix technology, Reduced Helmet Trauma, Twistfit, Boltfree technology provides a uniform surface ensuring complete protection across the ballistic shell perimeter from secondary projectiles eliminating the risk of lethal injuries. Through No hole-No drill technology, all heavy iron bolts and screws are replaced by polymer fasteners. Lightweight holding structures are bonded directly to the external shell to take into consideration accessory rail and shroud removal, resulting in an advanced lightweight and safer helmet.
MKU’s Enhanced Combat Helmets with Bolt Free technology has a better design capability for comfort and fitment and better compatibility with various critical equipment & mounting devices used by a modern soldier. These are designed to allow maximum sensory & situational awareness to soldiers as it offers an unobstructed field of view and increased ambient hearing capabilities. Here are some features of a bolt-free helmet from MKU.
