Helmet

Helmet is a personal armor designed to protect the head during combat. Modern helmets are mainly designed to protect from shrapnel and fragments, offer some protection against small arms, and offer a mounting point for devices such as night-vision goggles and communications equipment. Today's militaries often use high-quality helmets made of ballistic materials such as Kevlar and Twaron, which offer improved protection. Some helmets also have good non-ballistic protective qualities against threats such as concussive shock waves from explosions. Many of today's combat helmets have been adapted for modern warfare requirements and upgraded with STANAG rails.
By the late 20th century, starting in the 1970s and 1980s, new materials such as Kevlar and Twaron began replacing steel as the primary material for combat helmets to improve weight reduction, ballistic protection, and protection against traumatic brain injury. This practice continues into the 21st century, with further advancement and refinements in the fibers used, the design and shape of the helmet, and increased modularity [jmvh.org].
The helmet, when equipped, covers the top of the head. The helmet protects its wearer's head, allowing humans to survive headshots. It also offers some resistance against the elements. The helmet can be repaired and broken down into repairs. Helmets are usually found in military structures, such as army tents or barracks [miscreated.fandom.com].
