HYBRIDIZED THERMOPLASTIC ARAMIDS: ENABLING MATERIAL TECHNOLOGY FOR FUTURE FORCE HEADGEAR Walsh*, Scott, Spagnuolo, and Wolbert Army Research Laboratory Weapons & Materials Research Directorate Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland, 21005-5069 ABSTRACT Army ballistic helmet manufacturing has not changed significantly in nearly 30 years. Advances in helmet technology have been largely in shell design, improved aramid fibers, and helmet liner and suspension systems. The Army is currently replacing its first composite ballistic helmet, Personnel Armor System Ground Troops (PASGT), with the Advanced Combat Helmet (ACH). ACH has undergone ballistic testing and system analysis with improvements to weapons and body armor interfacing issues.
aramid polymer, Kevlar, enabled a helmet that had an average of 30% more ballistic protection at the same total weight of the two-part steel-based helmet it replaced.
