Integrated Head Protection System (IHPS)

Mission

Provides improved fragmentation, ballistic, impact protection, and fit over previous helmets.


Description

The Integrated Head Protection System (IHPS) consists of a retention system, suspension system, helmet cover, maxillofacial protective system, hearing protection, and NVD bracket. The IHPS provides improved fragmentation, ballistic, and impact protection while reducing weight and improving fit over the Advanced Combat Helmet (ACH) and the Enhanced Combat Helmet (ECH).

IHPS provides better accelerative impact protection than the ACH and ECH. IHPS provides attachment points for maxillofacial protection.
