The high-tech carbon fiber helmet is destined to replace older models that have been in military service for around four decades.
The Next Generation Fixed Wing Helmet is lighter than the current version and has a better center of gravity than current headgear to reduce stress on aviators’ backs and necks.
The helmets are much lighter than the legacy headgear and easily upgradeable to incorporate advancements — such as heads-up displays and night vision.
