Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A system, method, and helmet includes a collection optic configured to collect light from a scene and create an image; a fiber optic bundle configured to receive the image from the collection optic; an opaque ballistic face shield configured adjacent to the fiber optic bundle; and a projection optic configured to receive the image from the fiber optic bundle and project the image to a viewer. The collection optic includes a field of view (FOV) of greater than 30 degrees, and preferably greater than 50 degrees. The collection optic images the collected light gathered from the scene onto an end of the fiber optic bundle. The fiber optic bundle goes through or around the opaque ballistic face shield. The opaque ballistic face shield is non-electric and includes silicon carbide and polyethylene. In one embodiment, the opaque ballistic face shield includes at least two pounds of silicon carbide and polyethylene.
