VIRTUS
VIRTUS is complete soldier's individual equipment solution
developed for the British land forces. It consists from more
than fifty components including the Revision Cobra+ helmet
developed by the Canadian company as a part of Batlskin
helmets family. This aramid frag-rated helmet (according
to the specs of British MoD they wanted only the protection
against fragmentation) is a headborne platform for head pro-
tection system with add-ons like visors or mandibles. The
medium-sized helmet weights only 1050 grams. The internal
suspension is based around four-point chinstraps and mesh
liner instead of popular adjustable pads. The next importnant
part of VIRTUS is load bearing equipment suite designed by
Israeli company SOURCE, who is integrator of the system,
based around modular and scalable body armor vest with
single-side quick release system for use in emergency situ-
ations. The body armor is connected with the Dynamic We-
ight Distribution load distribution system.
