The MOHAWK, or MOdular HArd Wired Kitted combat helmet concept, is a collaboration between Ceradyne armor systems and Wilcox Industries that brings the powered rail idea to the top of your head.
- Seamless and boltless construction. No holes through the helmet means more structural integrity and fewer pathways for ballistic penetration.
- Integrated & subdermal, multi-conductor wiring system powers head-born equipment with one battery source.
- Built in NVG shroud with integral flashlight and flash memory based video recording system. Components of the Wilcox Mission Recording System will be laid directly in to the helmet’s ballistic material layers.
The only place the companies went too far on their new collaboration is forcing the name MoHaWK. into an acronym. I think calling it the “Mohawk” combat helmet would have been fine. I mean, the thing sits on your head, has a slightly raised strip down the middle and is made for combat. But, then again, services do run on Powerpoint and acronyms.
