Our approach to safety

LD stands for Lifeline Defense, which reflects our goal to create next-generation safety for the most demanding fixed and rotary wing missions. With a relentless dedication to advancing military technology, we are the premiere manufacturer of flight protection equipment in Switzerland.

More accurate measurements for better fitted helmets & masks

LD-3D Customization Solution is an automated 3D measurement system designed by LD Switzerland to improve sizing and fitting of pilots’ helmets and oxygen masks. We use the latest available technologies to offer a fully personalized, fast, and easy process to continuously enhance safety.

AI classification system

Our automated classification system is powered by a powerful AI capable of selecting the most adequate and best adapted sizes of masks and helmets for your pilots. It does so by using integrated subjective variables such as weight, comfort and noise reduction during the scanning process of each subject’s heads. The information saved into our pilot sheet allows us to offer personalized customer service for each pilot.

Scalable clustering

We use our automated 3D measurement system to create a mapping representing estimated sizes of helmet and masks based on several significant parameters. This mapping helps us define our pilots size distribution range.

Automated fitting

Our system’s calculation generates the best fitted match of helmet size specific to each pilot. In some cases several size matches are possible. This will happen more frequently as new sizes are added-in to our product inventory if they are at a high level of matching.

Personal comfort

Our top priority is the pilot’s personal comfort. We provide the two best matching sizes recommended by our system to try on and decide on the best fit.

Helmet size optimization

The optimal passive noise reduction is reached with a perfect helmet fitting. To reach it we have developed LD-3D Customization Solution. The sizing tools currently used on the market for measurements are manual, non-repeatable, inaccurate, and often lead to bad fitting. Those tools have become obsolete, this is why we now use 3D scanning and include more variables (discomfort, pain and more) in our system’s measurement calculations.

Oxygen mask size optimization

Today we offer 5 mask sizes, and we are working on adding 4 more to our product selection. LD-3D Customization Solution enables us to create new sizes to adapt to specific markets with different morphotypes.

Headset size optimization

Because we do research & development for our helmets andmasks, we have a much better interfacing between both products.Global comfort is therefore improved.

Lightweight, comfortable, high noise reduction.
