required in aircraft where a boom microphone is
used or where a boom microphone and oxygen
mask are used interchangeably.
HGU-47(V)2/P HELMET ASSEMBLY. The
HGU-47(V)2/P is a single lens, pad-fit helmet
incorporating a boom microphone without
amplifier and the CX-13155/A communication
cable for use in C-1A and C-2A aircraft.
HGU-47(V)3/P HELMET ASSEMBLY. The
HGU-47(V)3/P is a single lens, pad-fit helmet
incorporating a boom microphone without
amplifier and the CX-13164/A communication
cable for use in T-34 aircraft.
HGU-47(V)4/P HELMET ASSEMBLY. The
HGU-47(V)4/P is a single lens, pad-fit helmet
incorporating a boom microphone without
amplifier and the CX-4832A/AR communication
cable for use in P-3 aircraft.
HGU-49/P HELMET ASSEMBLY. The
HGU-49/P is a single lens, form-fit hel-
met incorporating a boom microphone and
CX-13128/A communication cable for use in
S-3A aircraft.
HGU-50/P HELMET ASSEMBLY. The
HGU-50/P is a single lens, form-fit helmet
incorporating a binaural headset required for use
in the aft stations of the EA-3B aircraft.
HGU-52(V)1/P HELMET ASSEMBLY. The
HGU-52/P is a single lens, form-fit helmet
incorporating a boom microphone and
CX-13155/A communication cable for use in A-3
aircraft.
HGU-52(V)2/P HELMET ASSEMBLY. The
HGU-52(V)2/P is a dual lens, form-fit helmet
incorporating a boom microphone and
CX-13155/A communication cable for use in E-2
aircraft.
MAJOR HELMET COMPONENTS
The following helmet components are avail-
able to achieve the desired configuration for the
aircrew member helmet.
PRK-37/P HELMET SHELL ASSEMBLY.
The PRK-37/P helmet shell assembly is intended
to protect the head during in-flight buffeting and
emergency situations such as ejection, bailout, or
crash landings. It resists projectile penetration and
distributes impact forces over the entire head. The
helmet shell is the platform for other components
such as the visor assembly, communication
devices, and the oxygen mask.
PRU-39/P HELMET SHELL LINER AS-
SEMBLY. The PRU-39/P is a helmet shell liner
that is a form-fit, foam-in place type assem-
bly, which is installed in the PRK-37/P helmet
shell assembly. The PRU-39/P consists of a rigid
polyurethane foam liner molded to fit the avia-
tors head. The KMU-439/P (liner mold kit) is
positioned on the pilots head, and foam chemicals
are injected into it. The liner is finished with a soft
urethane foam comfort pad and leather covering.
When properly fitted, the liner provides impact
energy absorption, helmet stability, and comfort.
PRU-39A/P HELMET SHELL LINER
ASSEMBLY. The PRU-39A/P is a helmet shell
