The helmet provides excellent protection against small-arms fire and small explosive attacks. The helmet is also essential in providing an ODST the ability to perform EVA and also provides a [[heads-up display]] (HUD), giving the wearer basic information including a targeting reticule, weapon information, ammo capacity, and basic health readout. The newest version of the helmet integrates with the user's standard [[neural interface]] to provide more tactical data to the HUD. Helmet-integrated neural interfaces is another piece of technology that has seen widespread adoption from Project MJOLNIR. Along with this state-of-the-art equipment, the helmet is also equipped with its own thermal imaging and motion sensors.<ref name="encyclopedia">'''[[Halo Encyclopedia (2009 edition)]]''', ''Chapter 2: page 57''</ref> There are also several external optical modules that can be attached to the helmet, including the ODST-[[Command Network Module|CNM]] used by some squad leaders<ref>'''Halo: The Essential Visual Guide''', ''page 26''</ref> or an optical/integration module which enhances smart-linking capabilities and communication systems.{{Ref/Reuse|evg159}}{{Ref/Reuse|oi}}

Another version of the helmet is very similar in design, though its faceplate is noticeably less convex and is colored a deep shade of blue. This model bears less resemblance to the CH252 combat helmet, most notably in the backward-swept over the ears and jaw.<ref name="H2A">''Halo 2: Anniversary''</ref>
