Locally-produced PASGT or PASGT-like helmets do exist in Brazil, but I have doubts this "Capacete de Combate Balístico" even exists. As an IP has already pointed out in the talk page, none of the sources use this term. This source on Brazilian Army helmets explains the PASGT was introduced in 1993 and Inbrafiltro produces a similar version made of aramid fiber. Inbra's 2018 catalog doesn't mention a "Capacete de Combate Balístico", it offers PASGT helmets and those are plainly named PASGT helmets. Google shows zero results for "Capacete de Combate Balístico" in eb.mil.br - official Army sources don't use this term at all. This Army source also simply claims the military uses PASGT helmets. This thesis on helmets even states the PASGT is the only helmet, citing a 2008 Army document. No "Capacete de Combate Balístico" in sight. It's possible this was military or commercial jargon rather than a specific product, or "invented" in Wikipedia through misguided original research or just plainly made up.
