Your Army's Combat Helmets

Postby Neo-Soviet Eurasia » Thu Aug 21, 2014 7:47 pm

From the old fashioned Stahlhelm to the reliable PASGT, what combat helmets does your army take to the field? We carry the SSh-36 (first picture) and the SSh-40 (second picture) combat helmets.

Due to the Republic of Padnak's extremely hot and humid climate, helmets are rarely worn, however these are some examples of standard issue helmets

New Hayesalian "Chameleon" Armour is a distinctive system of plating which is designed to give a very high percentage of bodily cover in armour. A groin and buttocks plate are also included, as well as the M1A4 Enhanced Combat Helmet from TNRDI. The M1A4 offers the following qualities:

* Made from advanced Plastics
* Lightweight compared to similar Kevlar products
* Offers true ballistic protection up to 7.62mm at medium to long range
* Integrated ballistic eye protection from Nomad
* Integrated electronic sound amplifier with automatic cutoff for noise above 80 DB
* Lined with shock absorbing gel to lessen impact energy transfer by 40%.
* An augumented reality system which allows interfacing with other New Hayesalian units through blue-green wave laser connections, in order to organise attacks, defences, located objectives and note the location and type of hostile assets. These systems also have full access to a downloaded Wolfram Alpha index of information, with no need for an internet or other connection.
* Multilingual Automatic Document Classification Analysis and Translation (MADCAT) in every helmet which automatically convert foreign language text images into English transcripts, thus eliminating the need for linguists and analysts while automatically providing relevant, distilled actionable information to military command and personnel in a timely fashion.
* Robust Automatic Transcription of Speech which provides: Speech Activity Detection, determine whether a signal includes speech or is just background noise or music; Language Identification, once a speech signal has been detected, identify the language being spoken; Speaker Identification, once a speech signal has been detected, identify whether the speaker is an individual on a list of known speakers; Key Word Spotting, once a speech signal has been detected and the language has been identified, spot specific words or phrases from a list of terms of interest.
* Individual radio systems
* Integrated camera system
* Integration with the 9LAND BMS
* Compatible with low-visibility NVG sights and included gasmask system (seen below)

The used plates are designed from TN RDI offer the following qualities:

* Made from silicon carbide ceramic matrices and laminates formed into overlapping disks
* Level 4 multiple hit stand alone rated - Stops up to 7.62 AP
* Lined with shock absorbing gel to lessen impact energy transfer by 40%.
* Weight: 25kg
* 9LAND NMS system to allow for command and intelligence purposes.
* Vital Life Signs monitoring system, allowing command centers to understand medical situations.

The Chameleon can be worn with the Warrior Web. The Chameleon is also produced in camouflage schemes as necessary. The Chameleon is figure-hugging and MOLLE compatible, which allows for ease of movement and modularity. The Chameleon is usually worn with the Warrior Web system to reduce individual fatigue to the user. The Chameleon offers protection to most of the body, inluding the outer legs and joints, the outer thigh, the groin and buttocks, the pelvis, the torso and obliques, the upper and lower forearms, the wrist, the shoulders, and the collarbones. The M4A1 helmet, seen below, offers protection to the skull above the upper neck, the ears, and the forehead as well as protecting from burns and CRBN attacks with the M4A1 Gasmask also seen below.

Ruskarkand's Draan Knights use a plethora of Helmets in order to protect their heads and faces from blows, when they are no longer able to actually avoid being hit in the first place. Generally, whatever is worn is at the discretion of the user; either in such that it matches their needs for protection, or if they just want to look dashing whilst they're taking their blades to rend the flesh our foes.

Generally, Stechhelms (with the front of the Helmet enlarged in order to fit a Draan's jaw) are a popular choice. They're typically worn alongside chainmail hoods, with padding around the head.
Another example is a closed Bascinet with a Visor, although they're rather seldom seen. A more popular example is the Armet helmet.

Soldiers of the National Badai-Surgo Army are issued with a locally produced version of the Chinese GK80 helmet. This is normally issued alongside a helmet cover which features a camouflage pattern resembling a bright version of DPM.

The combat helmet used by Y Qerddord Rengerol Avaerilon (The Royal Army of Avaerilon) is known as the Mk.4, and made from a lightweight composite of kevlar and carbon fibre, making it comparatively light and incredibly strong. It replaced the older purely-kevlar Mk.3, which had been in-use since 1993, in 2010, as part of an initiate by the new Minister of Defence, Brigadier Robert Cambel to upgrade the protective gear of service personnel. It features space for the integration of electronic devices such as radios, and is designed to be totally compatible and fitting with the current additional protective face masks, gas masks and the like used by His Majesty's forces. Each unit weights less than one kilogram, and has been designed with coolness and comfort in-mind, much to the delight of soldiers serving in hot climates.
