SPECTRA helmet
The SPECTRA helmet or CGF Gallet Combat Helmet is the ballistic helmet currently in use in the French military, as well as in the armies of several other countries. Built by CGF Gallet (the producer of the F1 helmet for firemen), it weighs , is available in two sizes, and is made from Spectra fibers, produced under license from Honeywell. The SPECTRA helmet is capable of stopping shell fragments of travelling at 680 m/s (2,230 ft/s), an 80% improvement over the Modèle 1978 helmet it replaces.
== History ==
The SPECTRA helmet is the result of 1990 studies intended to design the helmet for the French Army of the 2000s. In 1992, the conflict in ex-Yugoslavia put large numbers of French blue helmets in contact with well-trained and well-equipped opponents, especially snipers during the Siege of Sarajevo, where heavier protection than the Modèle 1978 helmet was proved necessary. The Army requested an emergency study for the new helmet, and tests were made, which selected the Dyneema fiber. Gallet drafted a model based on the Personnel Armor System for Ground Troops (PASGT or "Fritz") helmet used by the United States Army, and produced a first series of 5,000 which was immediately made available to the Blue Helmets in the former Yugoslavia. These first models were mostly blue in color. Later models used the NATO green colour. They gradually equipped all French troops, with a priority given to the units on missions in foreign territories.
In 2014, due to lack of adequate protection, hundreds of SPECTRA helmets were bought/donated in France and Denmark and shipped to Ukraine, where they are widely used by soldiers of Ukrainian Army Forces in non-official war with Russian Federation (along with other types of modern ballistic helmets). Canada also donated their CG634 combat helmets to Ukraine as well.〔http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/ukraine-to-get-helmets-vests-from-canada-to-help-protect-border-1.2729999〕
