Description
September 14, 2025
A special research project is aiming to make Canadian Special Forces operators safer in the field, and other countries are paying attention. The West Block went to a training facility on the Valcartier military base, just north of Quebec City, to show the exclusive impact and blast testing of a new type of helmet. The helmet is designed to help prevent brain injuries for Canadian Special Operators who often work in close-quarter blast zones
