Designed to keep pace with innovations in flight technology
and emerging mission scenarios, the GENTEX HGU-56/P helmet system
offers modular engineering for cross-platform use on rotary wing aircrafts .
The helmet’s enhanced design features a multitude of options to improve
aircrew personnel fit, functionality, mission adaptability and essential
head safety and protection.
The helmet
comes standard with both clear and neutral visors. For particularly
demanding mission requirements, laser visors, high contrast and gradient
visors are available from to improve visual acuity in day, night or
inclement weather conditions. All Gentex visors are made of
polycarbonate and meet all performance requirements of MIL-V-43511 and
have an abrasion-resistant coating on the front and back surfaces in
accordance with MIL-C-83409. The outer visor housing can also easily be
configured for Night Vision Goggles (NVG).
The HGU-56/Pcan also be upgraded to include the Maxillofacial Shield
(MFS), specifically designed to protect the lower face from flying
debris common to the helicopter environment. An optional helmet bag for
proper storage and protection is available. Oxygen mask bayonets can
also be ordered for field installation, so the MBU 12/P Oxygen mask can
be donned in high-altitude environments. All HGU-56/P rotary wing helmets can be
readily modified to install the Communication Ear Plug (CEP), which is
now standard on all U.S. Army flight helmets and which greatly enhances
communications and hearing protection.
