The QGF-03 helmet (Chinese: QGF03钢盔) is a combat helmet deployed by the Chinese People's Liberation Army in 2005. The helmet, like its predecessor the QGF-02, is made from a Kevlar composite material and replaces older steel helmets such as the GK80 for frontline troops.
History
The QG0-F03 is being replaced by the Type 15A helmet, based on a tender notice issued by the PLA on August 4, 2017.[1]
Development
The QG-F03 helmet was a development from the first Chinese kevlar helmet, the QGF-02, first produced in 1994[2] and issued to units such as the PLA Hong Kong Garrison. The QGF-02 was intended to be lighter than the existing steel helmets and ballistically equivalent to the US PASGT helmet.
