The 6B47 helmet provides protection from:
- 9-mm 57-N-181S bullets from PM pistol from a distance of 5 meters;
- fragment simulators (steel ball with a diameter of 6.3 mm and a mass of 1.05 g) at a speed of no more than 630 m/s.
The 6B47 helmet provides the ability to use standard communications equipment, and differs from previous helmets in ability to mount night vision devices and other equipment. The helmet retains its protective properties at temperatures from −50 to +50 °C. The guaranteed shelf life is at least 8 years, of which the guaranteed service life is at least 5 years.[5][6]
According to Armocom deputy general director Oleg Faustov, the 6B47 is the lightest helmet made by the company.[1]
