Combat helmets have evolved considerably over the years from those
used in World War I to today's Advanced Combat Helmet. One of the
key advances was the development of aramid fibers in the 1960s,
which led to today's Kevlar-based helmets. The Department of
Defense is continuing to invest in research to improve helmet
performance, through better design and materials as well as better
manufacturing processes. Review of the Department of Defense Test
Protocols for Combat Helmets considers the technical issues
relating to test protocols for military combat helmets. At the
request of the DOD Director of Operational Test and Evaluation,
this report evaluates the adequacy of the Advanced Combat Helmet
test protocol for both first article testing and lot acceptance
testing, including its use of the metrics of probability of no
penetration and the upper tolerance limit (used to evaluate
backface deformation). The report evaluates appropriate use of
statistical techniques in gathering data; adequacy of current
helmet testing procedures; procedures for the conduct of additional
analysis of penetration and backface deformation data; and scope of
characterization testing relative to the benefit of the information
obtained.
