Design
editThe 6B47 was developed by Armokom from 2011 onwards. The company had previously developed and produced the 6B7-1 and 6B7-1M helmets for the Russian army.[3][4]
The 6B47 helmet provides protection from:
- 9-mm 57-N-181S bullets from a PM pistol from a distance of 5 meters;
- fragment simulators (steel balls with a diameter of 6.3 mm and a mass of 1.05 g) at a speed of no more than 630 m/s.
The helmet provides the ability to use standard communications equipment, and differs from previous helmets in its ability to mount night vision devices and other equipment. It retains its protective properties at temperatures from −50 to +50 °C. Its guaranteed shelf life is at least 8 years, of which the guaranteed service life is at least 5 years.[5][6]
According to Armocom deputy general director Oleg Faustov, the 6B47 is the lightest helmet made by the company.[1]
