Creare manufactures the HGU-99/P Hearing Protection Helmet for US Navy ground crews working with the F-35 Lightning II. It more resembles a flight helmet than previous flight deck helmets and is engineered for high noise environments, offering a 34 decibel reduction in noise when worn alone and 39 db when worn with foam earplugs.
At Modern Day Marine they displayed a new helmet based on the HGU99/P optimized to protect personnel from blast over pressure associated with weapon firing.
Measurements reveal that while wearing a US Army issue Integrated Head Protection System (IHPS) Helmet the wearer is afforded a 15% reduction in blast overpressure. The Blast Overpressure Protection Helmet offers a 71% reduction. It is to believe once you’ve worn one. It fits very snugly over the ears as well as creating a seal around the edge of the face.
It is also fitted with directional hearing augmentation as well as comms compatible microphone.
