Ballistic helmet that may include an adapter for each earcup secured thereto and an integrated electronic circuit configured to power and operate conductively connected electronic devices

Abstract

Implementations of a ballistic helmet that may include an adapter for each earcup secured thereto and an integrated electronic circuit configured to power and operate conductively connected electronic devices are provided. The ballistic helmet may comprise two armor plates, each armor plate may be positioned to cover an ear of a wearer and thereby provide ballistic protection thereto. In some implementations, the ballistic helmet may further comprise two earcup adapters, each earcup adapter is configured to be mounted on an interior side of an armor plate and to allow an attached earcup to rotate thereon. In this way, each earcup may be comfortably positioned over an ear of the wearer and thereby attenuate sound. In some implementations, the ballistic helmet may also comprise an integrated electronic circuit configured to operate and/or power electronic earcups and other electrically powered devices (e.g., a flashlight) conductively coupled thereto.
