M52 Combat Helmet

The M52 Combat Helmet is the standard-issue helmet worn by the Confederate Marine Corps. The helmet is composed of the same composite material that comprises the outer layer of M17 Combat Armor, and its modular design allows it to be adapted easily to fit a given theater or combat situation.

The M52 can be fitted with a heads-up display or polarizing ballistic goggles, as well as a communications headset or night vision optic. The helmet is often fitted with a tactical flashlight and video recording unit, allowing battlefield tacticians to "see" through the eyes of a Marine in the field.

The M52E variant of the standard M52 Combat Helmet can be fully enclosed and environmentally sealed, allowing it to be used with vacuum-sealed armor during extra-vehicular activity or in areas without sufficient oxygen or that feature toxic atmospheres. The M52E is standard-issue for Marine combat pilots.
