HELMET SHELL: The shell comes with a standard olive drab walnut flour finish and black rubber edge beading. Two adjustable hanger tabs at the front of the shell facilitate attachment to the headset and allow for fitting adjustments. A snap on the back of the helmet shell permits the attachment to the adjustable rear attachment tab on the modified CVC liner.

MODIFIED CVC LINER : The modified CVC liner affords optimal fit, comfort, and stability. It consists of energy-absorbing foam pads enclosed in aramid mesh fabric. The energy-absorbing pads feature a more ventilated surface than earlier-style pads, thus making the helmet more comfortable for extended wear. An aramid simplex front brow pad cover enhances comfort at the upper forehead area.

SOUND-ATTENUATING EARCUPS: The rotatable earcups are designed for a secure fit and optimum sound attenuation. The earcups can be adjusted vertically via the adjustment straps on the CVC liner. A tension spring adjusts pressure of the earcups to the crewmemberis head. A raised ring on each padded, non-hardening, polyurethane earseal further enhances the fit and sound attenuation with minimal pressure to the head.

COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM: The CVC ANR Helmet is equipped with Bose CVC communication System which utilizes proven active noise reduction technology that increases capabilities as well as improving crew performance. Proprietary Bose acoustic noice cancelling circuitry is particularly effective at contracting low frequency noise prevalent in modem tracked, armored vehicles. Bose CVC Headset is a second generation acoustic noise canceling communications system with proven speech intelligibility scores of 89% as well as greater hearing protection (compared to conventional DH-132 Helmet, when used with modern ICS like VIC-III. Safe exposure time for crew members operating in a high noise environment is increased by a factor of ten.
