The Ops-Core Future Assault Shell Technology (FAST) Helmet, also
known as the FAST helmet, is an American combat helmet used by
special operations forces and law enforcement organizations in
various countries, as well as the current standard protective
headgear of the Norwegian Armed Forces.
The FAST helmet series features a distinctive shell shape, with ear
cut geometry which extends coverage over the rear occipital bone
without load carrier interference, and optimizes weight
distribution for increased stability, integration, balance, and
comfort. The helmet features various suspension and retention
systems, and ARC rails which, similar to picatinny rails, enable
users to mount items like helmet lights and cameras.
Development
Compared to standard combat helmets, the FAST helmet offers up to
25% weight reduction and is notable for its early use of
ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene fibers (UHMWPE) in its
design. It was also designed to allow outside features such as
wearing communications headsets which can be attached with rail
adapters.
Design
The FAST helmet ranges in weight from about 667–1592 g (1.47–3.51
lbs). The type of UHMWPE material for the ballistic FAST models
provides increased protection against NIJ Level IIIA handgun
rounds. It can be fitted with a mounting bracket, patented first in
2014, for accessories like night vision goggles and communications
headsets,similar to PASGT and MICH. Users can wear it with
different communications headsets with ease and comfort. The Velcro
featured on to the helmet also allows for the wearer to attach
national flag or the emblem of unit which they belong to, in
addition to other IFF (Identification friend or foe) patches such
as call sign and blood type.
It has different color options, such as foliage green, black, olive
green, ranger green, tan 499, urban grey, MultiCam and desert
MARPAT. As well as having mesh and cloth helmet covers in varying
camouflage patterns.
The FAST RF1 High Cut Helmet System released in 2021 is a rifle
rated ballistic helmet at an average of 3.5 lbs (1592 grams) able
to protect against rifle rounds like the 7.62×39mm and 7.62x51mm
due to the 0.400" (10.16mm) shell thickness. The different color
options are tan 499, ranger green, MultiCam, black, and urban gray.
The FAST XR Helmet System released in 2022 represents an
intermediate in protection between the SF line of helmets and the
RF1 Helmet System, protecting against 7.62×39mm rifle rounds at a
distance of 10 feet, but not against larger rounds such as
7.62×51mm. This is due to having a shell thickness of 0.280"
(7.112mm). It is far lighter than the RF1, averaging at only about
half a pound heavier than the SF helmet, depending on the type of
chinstrap. It is available in Tan 499, Ranger Green, MultiCam,
Black, and Urban Gray.
