Essex Junction, VT, USA (January 8, 2014) -– Revision Military, a world leader in protective soldier solutions, wins a contract for PEO Soldier’s Integrated Head Protection System (IHPS) Soldier Protective System (SPS). The 2 year development-to-acquisition program is to refine the U.S. Army’s next generation helmet system, a contract worth an initial $783,000 with additional options valued at $15 million.
Revision’s IHPS small arms helmet serves as the foundation for the company’s proposed head protection system. The helmet’s optimized shell design contours the shape of the wearer’s head, increasing their area of coverage and protection while reducing system weight and unneeded space. The system weighs less than existing combat helmets and includes upgradeable mandible and visor protection. It also features an innovative retention and netted suspension system with dial-in comfort settings and high-impact ballistic padding. The suite includes modular ballistic armor plates that can be applied to the helmet’s exterior for an increased level of protection.
“Revision is proud to have been selected as a development partner for the U.S. Army’s next-generation head protection system,” explains Jonathan Blanshay, CEO of Revision. “With lineage emerging from NSRDEC’s HEaDS-UP Program and our history in protecting the soldier, the IHPS is a tailorable protection suite that will increase survivability through capability and technology. The use of next generation ballistic materials and progressive manufacturing techniques has allowed for increased protection at a lighter weight. We’re proud to provide a solution that ensures soldiers’ mobility on the battlefield while allowing them to tailor the system to their mission.”
PEO Soldier’s intent for this program is to conduct iterative human factors testing leading to ballistic and non-ballistic testing and the eventual fielding of an initial quantity of 7,000 systems to a U.S. Army Brigade, prior to moving into full rate production. The Army intends the IHPS SPS system to be their next, widely fielded head protection system.
Readers – In addition to coverage here on SSD, we’ll also be featuring coverage at Tactical Fanboy.
Vendors – If you’ve sent something to be posted on SSD and it hasn’t made it up yet, please shoot me an email. Although we do have quite a bit still in the hopper, it’s been a crazy week and we don’t want to miss you.
AmericanSnipers.org is an ALL volunteer, 501(c)(3) non-profit group, staffed by current and former military and law enforcement snipers. Their entire mission is to support deployed military snipers and designated marksmen. They raise awareness of the needs of our snipers as well as work tirelessly to raise funds to fill equipment shortages that snipers are facing in the field. For the past eleven years, they have supported thousands of snipers deployed in the fight against our Nation’s enemies. AmericanSnipers.org is well known for their raffles and innovative morale items such as patches, coins, and t-shirts.
During SHOT 2014, their main booth (#L338) will again be on the third level, in the hallway outside the NSSF Member Lounge. AS.org will also have staffers at several “hide sites” with some of their major industry supporters, to answer questions and accept donations on behalf of their cause. Look for their banners at Ashbury International, FNH USA, Leupold & Stevens and U.S. Tactical Supply. All of the donations that AS.org receives go towards purchasing necessary equipment or paying shipping costs to get that gear into the hands of deployed snipers.
2014’s raffle offerings start off with the “American Snipers All In” rifle build package.
The rifle drawing will be held Jan 16, 2014 at SHOT. Online sales ended January 10th, although paper tickets will be sold at SHOT until Jan 15th.
