Development of a One Piece Infantry Helmet.

摘要

The Army Materiel Development and Readiness Command interlaboratory helmet development program is outlined, and the steps taken to develop a new infantry helmet are reported. The results of studies ranging from anthropometry to wearability were synthesized into a military helmet design. Studies included a mathematical sizing model, human factors compatibility evaluations, heat transfer and transient deformation measurements, suspension system designs, and ballistic materials investigations. The resulting three size, one-piece ballistic helmet offers significantly improved protection, fit, comfort, and stability over the standard M-1 helmet and nylon liner. (Author)
