摘要

2015 年，VIRTUS 头盔被引入英国武装部队，并将最终取代 Mark 7 战斗头盔。与 Mark 7 头盔相比，VIRTUS 头盔的饰线有所减少，并可安装遮阳板、下颚防护罩和颈部保护装置等附件。2019 年 9 月至 10 月期间，向部署在阿富汗四个地点执行 "托拉尔行动 "的 200 名英国武装部队人员发放了匿名问卷。这是首次在作战环境中对 VIRTUS 头盔进行评估的用户反馈调查。对用户进行了测量，以确定其头盔是否合适，并要求他们使用 5 点李克特量表对头盔的质量和舒适度进行评分。用户还被问及 VIRTUS 头盔是否比以前的头盔更好，以及他们对颈部保护的使用情况。用户认为 VIRTUS 头盔在舒适度和质量方面都优于以前配发的英国作战头盔。

The UK VIRTUS helmet: User feedback from Operation TORAL in Afghanistan

In 2015, the VIRTUS helmet was introduced to UK Armed Forces and will ultimately replace the Mark 7 combat helmet. The VIRTUS helmet has a reduced trimline compared to the Mark 7 helmet and can incorporate attachments such as a visor, mandible guard and nape protection.

An anonymous questionnaire was provided to 200 UK Armed Forces personnel deployed to four locations on Operation TORAL in Afghanistan between September and October 2019. This is the first User feedback survey assessing the VIRTUS helmet in an operational environment.

Users were measured to ascertain the fit of their helmet and asked to rate perceived helmet mass and comfort using a 5-point Likert scale. Users were also asked whether the VIRTUS helmet was better than previous helmets and about their use of the nape protection. The VIRTUS helmet was perceived to be an improvement over previously issued UK combat helmets in terms of both comfort and mass.
