A helmet-mounted display (HMD) is a headworn device that uses displays and optics to project imagery and/or symbology to the eyes. [1] [2] [3] It provides visual information to the user where head protection is required – most notably in military aircraft. The display-optics assembly can be attached to a helmet or integrated into the design ...
U.S. Army's 25th Infantry Division soldiers wearing the IHPS during the 2019–20 attack on the U.S. embassy in Baghdad.. The IHPS helmet began development as a replacement for the Advanced Combat Helmets and Enhanced Combat Helmets in 2013 [2] under the U.S. Army's Soldier Protection System program, which is intended to improve soldier protection and performance while reducing weight of a ...
The "Bell Helmet Company" was established as a division of Bell Auto Parts in 1956. [2] Bell introduced its Star model, the first full-face motorcycle helmet on the market, in 1968. [4] In 1971, Bell produced the first full-face off-road motorcycle helmet. [5] Bell made its first production helmet in 1954.
Full-face helmets offer much more protection than open-face helmets. [16] Several manufacturers have introduced full-face helmets with a flip-up front, combining the protection of a full-face with the ease of communication and donning or doffing that an open-face gives. [15]: 50 Studies have consistently shown that wearing a helmet: [17] [18]
Zamzar is an online file converter and compressor, created by brothers Mike and Chris Whyley in England in 2006. [1] [2] It allows users to convert files online, without downloading a software tool, and supports over 1,200 different conversion types. [3]
The FAST XR Helmet System released in 2022 represents an intermediate in protection between the SF line of helmets and the RF1 Helmet System, protecting against 7.62×39mm rifle rounds at a distance of 10 feet, but not against larger rounds such as 7.62×51mm. This is due to having a shell thickness of 0.280" (7.112mm).
A head-mounted display (HMD) is a display device, worn on the head or as part of a helmet (see helmet-mounted display for aviation applications), that has a small display optic in front of one (monocular HMD) or each eye (binocular HMD). HMDs have many uses including gaming, aviation, engineering, and medicine. [1]
Meanwhile, development was under way of a purpose-built helmet under the SPEAR program, which eventually produced the MICH in the late 1990s [6] and offered in three cuts to allow operator choice in balancing protection and weight to suit their preferences and mission profile. While it did not entirely replace the plastic bump helmets, it ...
