Helmet & Systems:
The HNIICS helmet has a weight of 6.5kg's, and mounts several systems. Superior vision systems include an intregrated Thermal - Day/Night - 15x Long Range vision system allowing the user to actively target human sized objects to a distance of 380m... at night, and clear identification at 195m. Good weather situations allow for a detection and identification range of 1.8km. The highspeed processor located at the lower back region has a speed of 3.2ghz and USB 2.0 high speed, open universal port interfaces which controls the energy and links with different components, such as imaging sensors, weapon, displays, radio etc. The computer is connected to a man-machine interface enabling the soldier to control the system and carry out operations such as firing around a corner or see through obstacles. The system creates a worldbox around the target, in laymens terms, creating a box around a target. This allows for easy identification of approaching enemy. A Range finder is included in the helmet system, and the distance is displayed in the HUD.
The Radio (HNRIF) included with the system offers several features of its own. Besides the communications (wraparound earbuds, vocal-cord mikes) the HNRIF will feature link to the goggle system to display GPS, Mapping, Command & Control systems, and more than enough Bandwidth for video's, images, and audio-recordings/mission objectives which can all be transmitted back to HQ or teammembers. All of this controlled by a small palm-pilot. They will operate with either all-in-one or sub-network architecture.
The HNIICS electronic and servo motor ensemble will be powered by four rechargeable Li-ion batteries will be used to ensure that the soldier can operate the system for 24 hours once dismounted. The unit will also be equipped with a collective fuel-cell based battery charger, which will sustain the team for two more days of continuous dismounted operation. When mounted in an armoured vehicle, the team attaches to their slots like a cellphone and its receptical, recharging off of a battery dedicated to the team.
The helmet itself is covered in kevlar, and a carbon-boron weave. The helmet is soaked in Liquid Armor, and has Ceramic Armour inserts.
Armour:
All outergarments, even boots and gloves, are soaked in Liquid Armor, allowing the soldier's limbs to remain flexible and protected. Most portions of the suit are also manufactured with a carbon boron weave. These two systems are more resistant to discarding sabot and armor piercing weapons, as well as bladed weapons, than Kevlar. Gasium manufactured Ceramic armor plates can be inserted in the shoulders, upper arms, chest, back, and thigh pads, giving soldiers the choice based on their situation and preferences. The suit also comes with plastic kneepads or elbowpads, again, they can be taken out or inserted at user's chouce. The entire system is also manufactured with fireproof elements, and if every inch of the skin is covered, and a full helmet is worn, than the body armor functions as a much better armored NBC suit. Of course, this is only when the non breatheable material is equipped. It can easily be switched for a soldier's comfort, and air circulating filters can be attached. Rounds larger and with a higher velocity than 7.62mm NATO can be taken in some areas, as well as blades, shrapnel, and fire. The chest armour can take a 7.62mm NATO round repeatedly. A single 50cal round can be stopped by the armour, but the tests indicated the User becoming incapacitated.
The load of the soldier is also dealt with. The M110 easily allows the attachment of various backpacks and other load bearing harnesses. Again, the systems are modular and can be changed quickly by a trained soldier.
The suit can be equipped with a light servo joint system, above the main BDUs but under the armor plates. It's powered by backpack fuel cells, and can be used to give the soldier with a full load the strength of an unloaded one.
NBC System:
A rebreather is included with the helmet. Should the user equip the enclosed BDU (recommended) the user will be fully NBC protected. A special undersuit (similar to 'Underarmor') is issued as well, to prevent heat related problems. A cooling/warming system is also included to provide further comforts.
