The next generation of our fixed wing helmet is a modern helmet that protects the modern fighter, designed to support advances in aircraft helmet-mounted display systems. Lighter and more comfortable than the headborne system before it, the helmet features design and technical improvements to improve safety and accommodate the greater physical demands placed on pilots. Heightened ventilation removes hot spots for greater comfort during missions, while enhanced support provides elevated head and neck protection. As an out-of-the-box, ready-to-fit-and-fly helmet system with increased adaptability and multiple configurations, the helmet reduces maintainer touch-time by up to 50% and eliminates additional helmet purchases over a pilot’s career lifespan.
