Macromatrix technology

Ballistic
HELMETS

As tactics and threats in the theatre of combat evolve, so must the technologies that protect from them. Our heroes shoulder the safety and security of our nation. Kavro ballistic helmets, powered by the Macromatrix helmet shell technology, ensure that the head above these shoulders stays well protected!

OUR SMART TRINITY

Smart Trinity is the amalgamation of smart functionality, smart design, and smart technology. It forms the foundation on which all our solutions are designed, developed and delivered to our heroes.

Smart is a mind set, of always challenging the limits of design and technology, of exactly understanding the usage, requirement and environments, and then developing the most ideal solutions that make a difference. It is about thinking from the users perspective and not from our own.

Macromatrix Technology

The Macromatrix technology ensures accurate and uniform protection across the compound curve of the tactical helmet shell from a wide spectrum of ballistic threats, very high-velocity fragments, secondary fragmentation, blunt trauma, behind armour blunt trauma and accidents.

It uses smart materials, techniques, and processes to deliver performance that meets and exceeds even the most stringent global standards. The helmets offer Level IIIA protection against ballistic threats and high-velocity fragments with V50 values starting from 720 m/s, and also protect from high-energy rifle rounds such as AK-47 MSC, M80, NATO ball, etc.

Reduced Helmet Trauma (RHT) Technology

Back Face Deformation is caused due to the transfer of the impact energy of a non-perforating bullet on the head, commonly known as Blunt Trauma. It can be measured as the maximum displacement caused in a ballistic helmet’s shell upon impact. Depending upon the extent of the deformation, the ballistic helmet can transfer a large force to the skull which has the potential to cause injury to the brain and/or the skull, referred to as BHBT (Behind Helmet Blunt Trauma), which is a major concern for the armed forces across the world.

Soldiers may survive the hit but still experience head injuries due to blunt trauma caused by the helmets back face deformation. Possible resulting injuries include skull fracture, hematoma, concussion, contusion, diffuse axonal injury, etc. Some of these injuries have been associated with TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury) as well.

Kavro ballistic helmets feature the smart Reduced Helmet Trauma Technology (RHT) which uses new-age materials, unique patented processes, and techniques, to reduce the back face signatures and resulting BHBT in helmets by up to 40%.

It is Safer when it is Boltfree!

Physiologically, the head is the most vulnerable region of the human anatomy and it becomes extremely important that headgears worn by soldiers during bomb explosions and surprise attacks offer effective protection. Exploded ordnance fragments & high-speed flying debris takes almost about as many lives as direct bullet hits.

When a bullet hits a bolted tactical helmet, there is a sheer possibility of the bullet hitting the bolt and the secondary fragments from the burst bolt entering the skull and causing fatal injuries.

Also, while drilling bolts, as is done in traditional tactical helmets, the zones around the bolts are weakened due to drilling of holes, these zones are susceptible to offering lower protection if the bullets hit such zones of the tactical helmet.

Bolt Free

Kavro tactical helmets’ smart design uses a 'No Drill, No Holes, No Bolts' approach in developing helmets. Using smart techniques, materials and technology, Kavro Bolt-free helmets offer seamless and uniform protection across the compound and complex helmet shell with no weakened areas at all.

Stability Harness with 'Twistfit’

A smart helmet is as much about protection as about stability, balance, and comfort. Keeping the combat helmet lodged and stable on the head is more important than just wearing the helmet. This is achieved with the combination of the helmet shell, retention and suspension systems. The retention and suspension systems play a very critical role in safely keeping the combat helmet lodged on the soldier’s head for extended usage.

Kavro combat helmets come with a specially designed stability harness that provides unmatched stability, shock absorption, balance and comfort that contemporary army helmets lack.

Twist Fit

The retention system with 'Twistfit' in Kavro helmets provides 360-degree clenching of the head for excellent stability and load distribution in combat helmets to overcome. It also features a comfortable nape pad for a snug fit. The modular and padded suspension system is made of high-performance materials for excellent shock absorption.

All weatherproof and Anti-Fungal Helmets

Kavro ballistic helmets are specially treated to be resistant to bacterial and fungal growth. They are moisture-proof and heat-insulated which negates the culmination of microbes inside the helmet even during extended use, making them suitable for varied terrains and extreme weather conditions.
