PROTECTING THE ELITE WARRIOR

Ideas about safeguarding the soldier used to be predominantly defensive. Today, the ability to offensively respond to threats

faster than the enemy is crucial to the concept of protection.

The human brain, eyes and ears are highly evolved to sense and react instantaneously. Yet with the advent of new technologies

to enhance these senses and increase awareness, today’s soldier has been burdened by an excessive amount of equipment to

carry on the head. Traditional military helmets were never intended for this purpose and therefore provide a “solution” that is

uncomfortable, unstable and often compromises the very senses it is trying to protect.

Helmets, gas masks, goggles, visors, mandibles, communication headsets, illuminators and identification devices are all made by

different companies that focus on the performance of their own product. Until now, the soldier was left to figure out how to make

them all work together. A synergetic system can only result from the careful consideration of all the devices and cooperation

between the various headborne equipment manufacturers.

Ops-Core offers multiple helmet solutions, upgrade components and accessories to create a platform with the sole purpose

of achieving this goal. By respecting the anatomy of the elite warrior and the complexity of the equipment, we have built a

foundation for all the elements to work in harmony and yield a solution far greater than the sum of its parts.

The liner system is also compatible with a variety of communication headsets and hearing protection devices, including headband style
COMMs. The headband slides under the fitband to rest in between the helmet’s two top impact pads eliminating pressure points and
interference that is a common problem with traditional liner systems. The impact pads are also pre-molded to the shape of the head
and are not affected by temperature, altitude or moisture. FAST HELMET : CIRCUMFERENCE SENTRY (ACH) : CIRCUMFERENCE

During use, these innovative features offer a retention solution that is secure, comfortable
and adaptable to a variety of mission scenarios and environmental conditions. When
wearing night vision goggles or conducting rigorous physical activates, the helmet can be
stabilized without use of counterweights or other cumbersome devices. This facilitates a
high performance head-borne platform that stays put and does not flop around in ways
that could be detrimental to the task at hand.

A good example of this is the helmet liner impact pad. Theoretically, the most comfortable pad would be very soft
so as to conform to different shape heads and cover as much surface area as possible to reduce pressure points.
But if this is accomplished, it will create unwanted heat due to insulating effects, added weight due to increased
surface area, and moisture absorption in the open cell foam. The soft foam would also not be good at mitigating • Durable

• This refined shell shape also provides better hearing localization and attenuation than
the ACH with a modified ear area shape and is compatible with ARC rail mounted Peltor
style hearing protection and COMMs devices
• The Sentry utilizes an improved liner and suspension system that provides the same
