Helmet

A ballistic helmet is considered to be an essential personal protection equipment, as it protects the user's head against different threats, mainly: protection against shrapnel, low speed gun or rifle projectiles and falls in the operation field. Therefore, the helmet will be developed to ensure level IIIA (NIJ- National Institute of Justice) ballistic protection and STANAG 2920 anti shrapnel protection. The helmet's development is based on the research into two fundamental functional components regarding it's performance: the user's comfort and the mechanical protection performance, given that only with these two elements is it possible to achieve a product with improved properties, fulfilling the needs mentioned previously. In this case, comfort is determined as the user's helmet/head interface, implying issues such as breathability, thermal touch, ergonomics, humidity management, among others. Similarly, the mechanical protection performance is considered to be found in the relation between the impact element/helmet/head, encompassing concepts such as impact resistance, energy dissipation, rigidity, among others.
