Total Information Solution for Head Protection

摘要

Today's military helmets should address the challenging requirements of a demanding job, offering protection against a wide range of threats, including fragments, small arms, and rifle bullets, while being lightweight, modular, i.e. give the soldier true system performance...at least that is what they should be doing. When cluttered with night vision goggles (NVG), lights, helmet mounted displays (HMD), and the such, all of a sudden, a lightweight helmet becomes quite a weight on a soldier's shoulders. Under "Helmet System 2020," which started 2010 as part of the Finnish "Technology Programme - Warrior," Savox went ahead to have better ergonomics compared to the existing combat helmet, and to have a completely integrated system. Soldiers often complained that their helmets were not comfortable to carry, when communications, NVGs, and eye wear were connected to the helmet. With initial discussions having started back in 2004, research began in 2010. At IDEX 2014 Savox is introducing a 'headgear system' that has a boltless design for increased ballistic protection: The Savox THOR system.
