MODULAR COMBAT BALLISTIC HELMET

PUTTING INNOVATION OF THE FRONTLINE

CHALLENGE

One of the largest defense contractors in the world needed to develop an advanced combat ballistic helmet system that revolved around a cutting edge communication, monitoring and the latest heads-up display technologies into a modular connected military grade solution.

SOLUTION

ATOM was tasked with managing, developing and integrating all the technologies into this futuristic platform offering advanced capabilities to supply information and communications to soldiers on the frontline battlefield and combat missions. An innovative core ballistic chassis provided structural integrity to this innovative military solution. It was developed as a modular assembly delivering scalability, expandability and flexibility for a wide range of soldiers and commanders. A proprietary anatomical human 3D model was developed for the program allowing for the optimization of ballistic protection. Extensive human factors, material science and advanced manufacturing techniques were utilized to create the most advanced combat ballistic helmet ever conceived.

RESULTS

ATOM fulfilled the customer’s objective by delivering a truly revolutionary modular ballistic combat helmet for the soldier of the future. The features and functionality were integrated into the several different models and are considered groundbreaking in comparison to the standard issue head borne ballistic helmets of today.
