Abstract:

The report evaluates the combat vehicle crewmans helmet and presents data relevant to the design of a new headgear. Toward this end, the developmental history of the CVC helmets from 1945 to present is reviewed, and specific problems experienced with the CVC T56 series helmets are analyzed. The advantages and disadvantages of single- and two-shell helmets are discussed, and a two-shell headgear constructed on the separable-module concept is presented. Author
