Abstract

A ballistic cover includes a fabric case and a panel received within an interior of the fabric case. The panel includes a plurality of ballistic sheets mounted together to collectively form the panel. The ballistic cover may be mountable to a headset.

Claims (17)

1 . A ballistic cover, comprising:

a fabric case sized such that the fabric case is mountable on a headset; and

a panel received within an interior of the fabric case such that the panel covers the headset when the fabric case is mounted on the headset, the panel comprising a plurality of ballistic sheets mounted together to collectively form the panel, the panel has a first width along a first lateral direction and a second width along a second lateral direction that is perpendicular to the first lateral direction, the first width of the panel being no greater than twelve centimeters, the second width of the panel being no greater than ten centimeters, and a thickness of the panel being no less than four millimeters and no greater than eight millimeters.

2 . The ballistic cover of claim 1 , wherein the fabric case comprises:

an elastic portion defining an opening, the panel receivable into an interior of the elastic portion through the opening; and

a panel support portion mounted to the elastic portion opposite the opening, the panel received within the panel support portion.

3 . The ballistic cover of claim 2 , wherein:

the elastic portion defines a width along a lateral direction;

the panel defines a width along the lateral direction;

the elastic portion is deformable from a normal configuration; and

the width of the elastic portion in the normal configuration is less than the width of the panel.

4 . The ballistic cover of claim 1 , wherein the panel is elliptically-shaped or rectangularly-shaped.

5 . The ballistic cover of claim 1 , wherein the panel is removable from the interior of the fabric case.

6 . The ballistic cover of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of flexible ballistic sheets comprises no less than fifteen flexible ballistic sheets.

7 . The ballistic cover of claim 1 , wherein each of the plurality of flexible ballistic sheets comprises ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene fibers.

8 . The ballistic cover of claim 1 , wherein the panel conforms to the NIJ Type Illa standard.

9 . The ballistic cover of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of flexible ballistic sheets are mounted together by adhesive or thermal bonding.
