In a helmet equipped with the MIPS safety system, a low-friction layer allows the helmet to slide relative to the head, resulting in a reduction of the rotational motion that may otherwise be transmitted to the brain. In this way, the MIPS approach mimics the natural safety system of the human head. [4]
While no ballistic helmet of the time could protect from small arms fire in close-quarters combat, it inspired the U.S. Army to create a new helmet to better protect special operations forces in direct action missions while providing the weight and modularity they desired that caused them to cease using the PASGT in the first place.

[11] [failed verification] When MIPS II was introduced, MIPS was renamed MIPS I to distinguish it from the new version. [3]: 32 MIPS Computer Systems' R6000 microprocessor (1989) was the first MIPS II implementation. [3]: 8 Designed for servers, the R6000 was fabricated and sold by Bipolar Integrated Technology, but was a commercial failure.
The Lightweight Helmet (LWH), also known as the Lightweight Marine Corps Helmet [1] or Lightweight Marine Helmet, is an armored helmet that is used by the United States Marine Corps and U.S. Navy. It is the U.S. Marine Corps' replacement for the PASGT combat helmet [ 2 ] and is derived from the Modular Integrated Communications Helmet .
The helmet was modified in 1865 as a result of lessons learnt from the Indian Mutiny and Crimean War. [10] The resulting helmet, less ornamental than the original, has been retained by the Household Cavalry in full dress ever since. [10] [9] [7] The Albert helmet was also worn historically by a number of cavalry regiments in the Canadian Militia.
Engine company helmets are typically all black; truck company helmets are black with alternating red and white quarters on the helmet dome. Most other fire services in the United States and Canada simply use either black or yellow for most firefighters and white for commanders, with some using red for denoting unit leaders.
The helmet is marketed with four head sizes and a standard RAL 6014 olive drab color finish with other colors/finishes available as requested. [8] Its standard accessories include a camouflage helmet cover and a communication headset. [8] M92 helmet covers used by the Bundeswehr have a reversible white or Flecktarn temperate
