R4013 NIJ Level IIIA Visor
Federal and local law enforcement tactical teams use full coverage helmets 
when conducting raids and forced entry operations. The helmets include mandible 
protection, but leave the face unprotected from ballistic threats. There is a 
need for transparent armor that can be integrated into the existing head protection 
systems. Integrating National Institute of Justice (NIJ) Level IIIA capable, 
transparent armor into existing head protection systems would close the ballistic 
window that currently leaves the operators face exposed. Providing this area of 
protection will increase the survivability of the operator when confronted with 
small arms fire.
