SPORTS HELMET TESTING / MILITARY HELMET TESTING

HELMET SAFETY & PERFORMANCE TESTING, CONCUSSION RISK, AND HEAD INJURY ANALYSIS 

Testing Challenges:

  • Analyzing the structural integrity of helmets for blunt and penetrating trauma injuries 
  • Critical injury analysis, high-speed impact, and rotational data

  • Strict size and mass restrictions
  • Laboratory and field testing
  • Flexibility to support a variety of test scenarios: linear impactor, drop tower, helmet-to-helmet, ballistics, munitions, etc.

  • Trailing cables that can alter test dynamics 

  • Accuracy and repeatability of data sets

DTS Key Features:

  • Miniature, rugged data acquisition systems and sensors
  • High-performance sensors: angular rate, accelerometers, six degrees of freedom (6DOF) sensor packages, 6DOF data logger
  • Designed to embed in the test article near sensors, eliminates trailing cables, and improves data quality
  • Supports a variety of test devices including: full family of ATDs, NOCSAE headforms, Hybrid III headforms, and Sport Thoracic Chest Surrogate (STCS)
  • Data writes to non-volatile flash memory
