Brief Introduction of Bulletproof Helmet

    Today's bulletproof helmets have become an essential component of security equipment in some police agencies and the military. Its functions are not limited to military aspects, and any organization or even individual that needs safety protection can equip bulletproof helmets as needed. For example, special police forces, riot police, and even patrol officers can be equipped with bulletproof helmets.


    Structurally, bulletproof helmets can be divided into three types: PASGT, FAST, and MICH, which are mainly classified based on their height. PASGT stands for Personal Armor System for Ground Troops, which typically has 19 independent bullet protection layers and partially covers the wearer's ears in its exterior design. MICH stands for Modular Integrated Communications, which is typically made of Kevlar or ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) and has IIIA level defense capabilities. The MICH helmet is specifically designed to withstand 9mm and 44 MAG bullets as well as blunt force attacks. It provides more space for the wearer's ears to be used in conjunction with communication devices. The initial design included a cap edge and a lower ear cut. But later on, the occlusion of the brim and ears was gradually removed. The FAST (The Ops Core Future Assault Shell Technology) helmet, also known as a fast combat helmet, has the highest ear cut height among the three helmet types and is typically chosen by special forces forces to wear.

 

Brief Introduction of Bulletproof Helmet


    Many people think that bulletproof helmets are only used for bulletproof purposes. In fact, in addition to a certain degree of bulletproof function, their main function is to resist the impact of fragments and other objects. This is very important for law enforcement and security personnel. Especially police and security departments have a higher chance of encountering the danger of hitting weapons, projectiles, and other head impacts.

 

    Therefore, for bulletproof helmets, their bulletproof ability and impact resistance are equally important.
