Helmet soldiers future

Russian scientists have developed a new helmet of the armed forces and that would help not only to protect the soldier from direct injury or fragments , but also help in the conversion and see trends in the battlefield
Russian soldiers wearing a metal helmet currently , does not protect any fragments of a grenade could explode near it , while the new helmet is able to repel all external elements that can be exposed. This is shown by the tests , which took place in the laboratory on a plastic doll head , where they were firing metal balls to simulate shrapnel bomb , what you say engineer Vladimir Mashkovtsov :
"According to our specifications art must bear the helmet fragments quickly 630 meters per second . That is why we test the helmet fragments quickly through more than 700 meters per second . "
This is almost three times higher than the rate of shrapnel grenades traditional . However you can not penetrate the metal balls of the helmet , but it hung there . Refers Oleg Faustov head testing center certification that the helmet is made of several layers of polymer composite , carbon , and added :
"This is the only helmet in the world that contains a protective composite of three layers . The top and bottom layers of the helmet -like solid crust to a large extent . The inner layer of fabric are ballistic missile , which is not impregnated compounds Association . "
Achieved a new production technology for protective helmet Another advantage is that the mass is relatively low, as the weight of this helmet to less than one kilogram . Thus, it is possible to install a lot of extra equipment . For example, a lamp and night vision device and headphones active , and optical telescopes to shoot from close to the corner , and a special mask to protect the lower part of the destination .
Russian engineers are currently working on the development of material for the production of transparent armor helps to protect the eyes . The stylists two years after the launch of the new generation of helmet protective headgear for soldiers and to the world market .
