The American company presented armor for the military

The American company Devtac talked about making the Devtac Ronin Tactical Ballistic Helmet for the US military. However, as it turned out, the company has no contracts with the US Department of Defense, and so far this is only a concept, but not a production element of protection ready for production, the portal reports factschronicle.com

The American company presented armor for the military




Some journalists have already christened the novelty helmet Boba Fett, on behalf of an outstanding mercenary and bounty hunter from the Star Wars universe. The helmet really has a very futuristic look, completely protecting the face of the fighter. Structurally, it consists of several armored modules, fastened together with the help of neodymium magnets N52.



According to the initial information, the novelty can stop the bullets from the pistol cartridges .357 Sig and .44 Magnum. Each helmet lens has been specifically designed to provide a high level of ballistic protection. Helmet weighs about 4 kilograms, and to ensure a comfortable carrying inside installed active ventilation system.

It was assumed that such helmets would be worn by fighters from special units of SEAL and Delta Force. However, it later emerged that the company currently does not have a legal agreement with the Department of Defense, and no one from the United States Operational Command has even heard of Devtac.

      The downside of these masks is that they reduce the viewing angle. If only the police to storm the apartments. This is not for local conflicts. And what is her weight? And then you have to fix the brick as a counterweight on the back of the head)) and then for the assault the shield with armor glass and fanars is much better than a mask

            You look not through the bulletproof glass, but through the sight, the image can be projected directly onto the retina, the viewing angle is adjustable. The perception spectrum is adjustable, even in infrared, even in ultraviolet, see. Well, the armor and communications are also there, like a computer for synchronization with various weapons.

          In Germany, before WWI, they also decided to make an impenetrable helmet. An armored plate was mounted on the army helmet. A rifle bullet did not pierce it, but its head was torn off. As a result, they refused this innovation, but the "horns" for installing the plate on the helmet remained.

              Well, I studied, these are horns for attaching a protective plate. They refused it, because it was not a head tearing off, but only a neck breaking or severely injuring.

          As if the ancients were from the 2nd World War), back in the 90s, other offices made exoskeletons for the neck to compensate for the weight of the helmet and the impact impulse, just for generals of soldiers, the expense is cheaper than armor protection for units.

      In general, this is solved by attaching the helmet to the protection of the shoulder girdle - then the blow will be delivered to the whole body. The question will be solved when they create bulletproof glass of acceptable quality so that the all-round visibility is.

          A similar allergy can occur to electromagnetic radiation, that is, a change in the state of the electromagnetic field. The electromagnetic field itself (especially its magnetic component) is completely safe for humans. It should be noted that the Earth has an electromagnetic field with such a potential that, in principle, all human crafts in this area can be mistaken for statistical errors.

    I don’t think the helmet is good, because an anti-pistol helmet is not needed for the army, it’s either either anti-fragmentation or automatic to catch the lungs 5.45 and 5.56, but people are tired of writing about broken necks and a tired neck, as if religion doesn’t allow you to tilt the polycarbonate hinge system behind the neck heads in front and the inability to tilt it back to a large angle, and pull the helmet back so that it does not lean forward from the weight to hang it on the spring and that's it.

    Who knows why on the helmets of the Germans at the beginning of the Second World War there were horns? This is an armor plate mount that additionally protects the soldier’s head. Passed all the tests for 5 points! But in the hostilities she didn’t go, because from a bullet or a splinter she broke the soldier’s neck. IMHO there will be the same trouble.
