The Air Assault helmet's superficial design remained largely unchanged during the transition from GEN1 to GEN2. The GEN2 Air Assault helmet is equipped with a long range integrated comm network. The new pauldrons seem to have succeeded the GEN1 [[FJ/PARA]] in design and function as they have a low-drag pauldron system. The chest has a locking retrieval brace.{{Ref/Reuse|H4EVG}} | The Air Assault helmet's superficial design remained largely unchanged during the transition from GEN1 to GEN2.
