1. A compute module for a helmet mounted visual communication and navigation system, comprising:
a housing having two larger regions provided symmetrically and a smaller region provided between the two larger regions;
an internal compute subassembly including a printed circuit board assembly (PCBA) having two wider portions corresponding to the two larger regions of the housing and a narrower portion corresponding to the smaller region of the housing;
two or more heat sinks configured to store heat dissipated from electronic components of the internal compute subassembly;
a cable connection interface; and
a power button,
wherein the internal compute subassembly comprises a bottom subassembly, including one, or a combination, of a bottom enclosure housing, a bottom insulation, a rear light sub-assembly, a cable connection interface cover, a cable connection interface opening, a power button opening, and a light PCBA cutout, and
wherein the bottom enclosure housing comprises an injection molded material characterized by a high impact strength and high heat deflection temperature.
