" The only one in the world."

Why choose it:

  • ultra lightweight80%
  • comfort100%
  • noise reduction90%
  • ballistic85%
new design

Innovative design

very high impact and penetration resistance thanks to a brand new design and high performance materials.

Ballistic

Unprecedented level of ballistic and impact protection

It meets the STANAG 2920 standard (T37 17 grain FSP STANAG 2920 bullet). Versatile capabilities: 100% of mission covered both in wartime or training with same helmet .

Modularity

Versatile because modular

The main feature is the modularity of its components, which can be chosen according to the operational needs.

comfort

Very high level of comfort

homogeneous weight distribution on the head, very good grip under NVGs or HMDS operations, high level of passive noise reduction, customizable visors. NVG can be used with internal visor for eye protection.

grip

Very good grip

good grip under NVGs or HMDS operations both with or without ballistic cover.

noise_reduction

High level of passive noise reduction

the best performances on its range

O2

Optional oxygen masks integration

modular and ballistic flight helmet

The H-CMB helmet is unique

Covered by international patents, makes the H-CMB helmet the only one in the world to have a modular cover that can become ballistic, thanks to a quick and intuitive replacement system of the top cover.

Modular cover

Replacement is carried out by removing/applying the three screws that fix the cover to the basic cap and removing/applying the two aluminium plates that control the visors, an operation that is extremely simple as the visors and the relative rotation mechanism remain assembled and anchored to the basic cap.
A single helmet can perform many functions in this way, because with the ballistic cover applied it offers a ballistic protection level V50-300m/s to the fragment, according to STANAG 2920 standard (type I component).

Light cover for H-CMB flight helmet
Ballistic_cover

Light cover

The Light Cover is the outer shell of the helmet H-CMB. It is made using Carbon Fiber and Aramid fiber and has the following functions:
  • absorb accidental shocks and resist to perforation;
  • to be balanced and to allow at the same time the balance of the helmet on the head;
  • host and guarantee the ANVIS mount quick release;
  • protect the two visors.

    • Ballistic cover

    The Ballistic Cover Cover replaces the Light, when it is required a level of ballistic protection for the operator. It is made using Aramid Ballistic fiber and provides a ballistic protection in accordance with the standard STANAG 2920 V50 300 m/s (fragment type1). It has also the following functions:
  • absorb accidental shocks and resist to perforation;
  • to be balanced and to allow at the same time the balance of the helmet on the head;
  • host and guarantee the ANVIS mount quick release;
  • protect the two visors.

    • Maxillo face shield

    The maxillo face shield is made in carbon and aramidic fabrics and provides a lower face protection from rotor wash and debris. Lined with isophonic foam, it allows clear radio communication even with the door open or under the rotor.
    It attaches to the helmet by a dedicate easy-to-use coupling / uncoupling mechanism.
    The maxilloface shield is equipped with a safety strap which keeps it anchored to the helmet shell also after the release of the mechanism.
