Installing These Advanced Avionics On The Current 20+ Year Old Helmet Degrades The System's Operational Performance. If This Helmet Is Not Modified, Aircrew Will Continue To Have To Overcome Jitter, Loss Of Night Vision Image And Display Symbology, Neck Strain, And Increased Potential For Injury During Ejection. In Addition, Proprietary Helmets Designed To Optimize Specific Displays Will Be Introduced Into The Inventory, Increasing Logistical Footprint. current Helmets Are Not Optimized For Use With Night Vision And Weapon Cueing/display Systems Required To Operate Modern Aircraft. Currently, Employing These Devices Require Extensive Modifications To Current Helmets That Were Not Designed To Accommodate Them. This Results In Poor Weight Distribution And Stability Which Contributes To Mission Degradation, Aircrew Fatigue, Neck Strain, And An Increased Potential For Injury. In Addition, Current Helmets Do Not Provide Adequate Noise And Impact Protection. systems Requirements: please Provide Information Regarding The Following Capabilities Of Your Helmet System Regarding The Following Categories And Provide Rationale How It Is Compliant: key Performance Parameter (kpp) 1.
