Pallas Marine Helmet
|
A hardened ballistic plastic/CADM
helmet with retractable visor for a full seal, the
Pallas contains an advanced multi function communications/cpu.
Operated by pupil tracking and a verbal short hand,
it allows a Marine full hands free operation of the
unit while concentrating on fighting or attention
intensive tasks.
The Helmet's multi function communications/cpu unit
can send the Marine's coordinates to units nearby,
perform mapping and navigation functions, and project
command and mission data on the VISOR. It also includes
a helmet-to-helmet infrared communications link, allowing
discrete, short distance communications between individual
marines while lessening the chances of interception,
com signal encryption, as well incorporating standard
com badge traffic.
As mentioned above, the Pallas' VISOR also operates
as a datascreen for the user's Taccorders and other
linked or integrated systems. The VISOR's systems
open programming structure allows it to accept multiple
signals and upgrading on the field. It also features
a 360* proximity and target/threat tracking display,
low light vision enhancement with rapid polarization,
and audio enhancement/suppression, to prevent sight/hearing
loss.
Sensory enhancements and protections can be modified
to accommodate different species' sensory requirements,
though after a certain point of acuity, the helmet
is configured to allow a Marine's senses to work without
the helmet's interference.
Each Marine's helmet is equipped and programmed to
assist them in tasks specific to their position and
MOS- such as target designation, range finding, chemical
analysis, etc. Officers and NCOs get units with more
processing power and a broader range capabilities
and command functions- including signal interception,
analytical functions and troop status readouts.
The Pallas also rapidly adjusts for casualties , so
that the chain of command to be sustained among widely
dispersed troops regardless of casualties. This function
saves minutes of confusion in emergency situations...
thus saving lives.,
It should also be noted that the Helmet can be modified
to fit the ergonomic, mission, and to a limited extent,
aesthetic needs of the individual Marine.
