Very soon British soldiers will be wearing ultra-sophisticated helmets which look similar to those in the 'Star Wars' movies. Part of Britain's 'Future Integrated Soldier-Technology,' the helmets are specially designed for the conditions of Afghanistan and are currently under trial.
The unique helmet features special ear protectors to shield from explosions, tinted plastic glasses to protect from flying debris and ultraviolet light, and a mouth guard which allows human voices to be heard with superior clarity.
