An NBC (nuclear, biological, chemical) hood is designed to protect the pilot against direct contact with and contamination by radioactive, biological or chemical substances, and provides protection from contamination with radioactive materials and some types of radiation, depending on the design. It is generally designed to be worn for extended periods to allow the wearer to fight (or generally function) while under threat of or under actual nuclear, biological, or chemical attack. This Hood is designed to fit beneath the Helmet Mounted Display on the Eurofighter Typhoon. The term NBC has been replaced by CBRN (chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear), with the addition of a new threat, radiological, meaning radiological weapon.

The hood is stored in a blue, zipped bag made by Flight Suits Ltd.
