TheQGF-03 helmet (Chinese:QGF03钢盔) is acombat helmet deployed by thePeople's Liberation Army in 2005. The helmet, like its predecessor the QGF-02, is made from aKevlar composite material and replaces older steel helmets such as theGK80 for frontline troops.
The QGF-03 is being replaced by the QGF-11[1] (Type 11)[2] and the Type 15A helmet, based on a tender notice issued by the PLA on August 4, 2017.[3]
The QGF-03 helmet was a development from the first Chinese kevlar helmet, the QGF-02, first produced in 1994[4] and issued to units such as theHong Kong Garrison and theMacao Garrison.[2] The QGF-02 was intended to be lighter than the existing steel helmets and ballistically equivalent to the USPASGT helmet.
The development of the helmet was based on theGefechtshelm M92.[2] It later changed to use theMICH helmet as a basis.[2]
