AUSA 23 \u2013 Gentex Asks What\u2019s Next for Army\u2019s Integrated Head Protection System<\/h2>\n
\n

Gentex<\/a> is one of the current manufacturers for the Integrated Head Protection System. Currently rolling off the line is the Next Gen IHPS which has transitioned to a \u201choleless\u201d design meaning there are no holes bored into in the helmet\u2019s shell to accept the liner and external accessories.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Instead, there are adhesive receivers for the bolts adhered to the shell with epoxy. The effect is just as strong as the old way and doesn\u2019t compromise the integrity of the ballistic shell.<\/p>\n

However, IHPS still has a compromise shape in that it is a mid-cut helmet, making it difficult to wear with hearing protection.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Consequently, Gentex is examining offering a high-cut option and incorporating their tried-and-true ARC rails into IHPS and chin strap.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

While no decision has made by the Army, I would suspect we will eventually see something along these lines.<\/p>\n
