Part of R&D's newest "Troubleshooter Enhancement through Equipment Mission" (TEEM) the TEEM-554C Area Awareness Helmet hopes to boost troubleshooter effectiveness by greatly boosting their awareness of what's going on around them.
No troubleshooter wearing the 554C could argue that they "didn't see it comming" with THIS handy bit of high-tech supergear!
With multi-directional 3D cameras, sound enhancement low-light, no-light, bright light and distance zoom combined with every sort of environmental sensor known to R&D, the TEEM-554C is sure to give the troubleshooter every bit of information they need to perform to their fullest potential.

Part 3: White Noise
The helmet's drawbacks will come into stark clarity the first time the wearer enters a firefight. The overwhelming amount of information will be blinding and deafening, literally. Every sound, sight, smell and event will be broadcast into the troubleshooter's brain just as fast as the helmet can locate, scan, identify, quantify and process it. The overlapping windows of information will block things from view, and will compete with each other for dominance as things move around. Each new combatant, burst of energy and change in temperature will jump to the forefront of the viewscreen. Useful information will be buried in the chaos.
