CARBONDALE, PA, August 14th, 2024 – Gentex Corporation, the global leader in personal protection and situational awareness solutions for defense forces, emergency responders, and industrial personnel, has received production authorization from the Defense Logistics Agency for ACH Gen II. The Government will start receiving deliveries in the coming months.

The ACH Gen II also has an innovative boltless retention design that allows the chin strap to be interchangeable with the Next Generation – Integrated Head Protection System (NG-IHPS) chinstrap.
