Ballistic Load Sensing Headform (BLSH)
Behind Armor Impact Measurement. Get the Data Beyond the Impact.
Sydor Technologies – in partnership with Biokinetics® – introduces the BLSH; a specialized headform built to quantify behind armor blunt force to helmets during ballistic impact. Delivering high-fidelity force metrics, this system provides accurate evaluation of helmet effectiveness under live or test-fire conditions.
Key Benefits
- In-Depth Behind Armor Force Data
Embedded load cells within the headform capture real-time force transmission through helmets during ballistic impacts. - Validated Calibration & Verification
Connects to impedance hammer and DAQ systems to verify cell outputs using RMS deviation and power spectral density analysis. - Seamless Integration
Compatible with standard amplifiers, data acquisition, and BLSH software for synchronized capture and analysis. - Streamlined Reporting
Automatically generates detailed Excel™ reports summarizing peak force, signal deviation, and spectral data.
Mission-Ready Configuration
The BLSH system includes a load-cell equipped anthropomorphic headform, calibrated impedance hammer, and software suite. Designed for ballistic test ranges or forensic labs, it delivers quantifiable impact metrics with minimal setup. Continued use is supported by verification tools and maintenance guidance from Biokinetics.
