The EOD 9A EMC Class A Helmet for Explosive Ordnance Disposal / Improvised Explosive Device Disposal (EOD/IEDD, or bomb disposal) operations shields its on-board support systems to prevent unwanted electromagnetic activity from interfering with the operator's ability to carry out their task. The helmet also conforms to both the Defense Standard 59-41 and Military Standard 461E (MILSTD) integrating with all Med-Eng EOD Suits. The durability of the EOD 9A is inherent in its optimal protection against blast overpressure, fragmentation, impact and heat. Usability features of the EOD 9A include a wrist-mounted remote control, interchangeable visors, on-board power, an Environmental Awareness System and a blower system.
