Wonder how well these one will work in a tank? Current ones work like crap! "But don't worry we are currently developing an armour vehicle crew helmet." That was only a dozen years or so a go :

MedCorps said:The combat vehicle crew modular helmet is being fielded now. if you are entitled you should be seeing them already or in the next 17 months as the fielding plan concludes. This is project 23 of 25 in the Clothe The Soldier program.

Did not provide to much protection to the neck/ears though. When we marked it higher than the rest, we told by the officer overseeing the trial not to be silly and there was no way would be buying an Israeli product. Also tested body armour at the same time.

Shrek1985 said:The lobster tail in back needs work...but what strikes me most of how very similar this is to the "Greek" style helmets the CombatReform.com guys have been tossing around for years and years.
Question is protective value, which will of course be classifed.
I was under the impression that a helmet heavy enough to provide protection equal to a ballistic plate was too heavy with current tech.
I agree with above comments re; modular---NOT! higher will just push the max protection at all times for CYA.
The thing I want most is a helmet that will not push up in back when I go prone.
