Infantry Armour System Helmet

The is a combat helmet manufactured by Ceradyne Corporation at the need of a modern combat helmet that will take away the old fashioned metal helmets from previous years. It is the predecessor of the heavily trusted Lightweight Combat Helmet that is manufactured by the same corporation.
== Description ==
The IAS helmet is typically olive drab in color and can be fitted with cloth helmet covers to increase camouflaging capabilities, which come in a wide array of varying camouflage patterns, including, but not limited to, Woodland, six-color desert, three-color desert, and winter/snow white, solid black, for tactical police applications, as well as the Panamoan Marine Corps's MK03 Woodland, MK03 Desert and the Panamoan Army's Spectral Camouflage Pattern.
The IAS helmet is also used by various SWAT teams, where it is often black, with or without covering. It is also used by Sacro Defense Coalition Peacekeeping forces where it is often painted with a navy blue color scheme.
When worn with a helmet cover, the IAS helmet is also often fitted with a band around it that has two light recharging glow patches (sometimes known as cat eyes) on the rear intended to reduce friendly fire incidents. These bands are also used to hold vegetation or small personal items, as with the MK6 helmet before it, during the later decades of its service life. These bands can also have names and/or ABO blood types printed on them to help identify the blood type the wearer in case a blood transfusion is required as a result of blood loss due to wounds received on the battlefield.
