The ALPHA 900 Passenger (PAX) is an upgraded helmet system optimized for passenger aircrew personnel. Leveraging the modern and lightweight design of the ALPHA 900 Cross-Platform helmet shell, the ALPHA 900 PAX features a simple comms setup, along with a dual velcro-strap nape system for ease of use by untrained personnel. A non-NVG Rigid Visor Cover is supplied as standard for increased protection, as well as a simplified visor actuator for easier field maintenance.

Designed to support the U.S. Army Air Soldier Program objective to reduce the weight and bulk of flight safety equipment for extended mission requirements of rotary wing aircrew, the HGU-56/P Rotary Wing Helmet System weighs less than the legacy HGU-56/P RWH System, making it easily wearable during extended use while maintaining industry-leading impact-protection levels.

Worn by Apache helicopter crews, the Gentex HGU-56/P Apache Block III Integrated Rotary Wing Helmet System is an integrated helmet, display, and sight system with improved safety features and comfort that provides situational awareness and targeting information. The helmet system is a key component of the next generation Apache helicopter, the AH-64E, and is based on the highly successful Gentex HGU-56/P Rotary Wing Helmet System, which was modified for compatibility with an Elbit Systems’ Integrated Helmet and Display Sight System (IHADSS).

The Gentex HGU-56/P Rotary Wing Aircrew Ballistic Helmet (ABH) System provides the identical form, fit and function of the standard Gentex HGU-56/P Rotary Wing Aircrew Helmet, with 91% greater ballistic protection. Innovative materials and processes have been adopted to provide unprecedented ballistic and impact protection. Until the HGU-56/P, conventional helmet construction materials limited the ability to produce a single design that offers impact and ballistic protection in a lightweight design. Gentex and the U.S. Air Force collaboratively designed the ABH System to provide optimal protection for search and rescue and special operations missions. The Gentex ABH System weighs less than 1.5 kg and is engineered for the same cross-platform uses as the standard Gentex HGU-56/P Rotary Wing Aircrew Helmet, such as Army, Air Force, Coast Guard, Law Enforcement and civilian rotary aircraft. It is compatible with existing HGU-56/P accessories, including visor kits, communications systems, night vision goggle mounts, and laser protective eyewear.

The Gentex ALPHA Eagle is the most versatile rotary wing helmet system available for commercial operations including law enforcement, air ambulance, fire services, forestry, and crop spraying. Pilots can select from a wide range of visor options; communications components, including plugs, connectors, and boom microphones; and hearing protection options, including ANR. Five shell sizes are available in a variety of colors and finishes to optimize the fit and personalization of the helmet system.

Designed by Gentex for the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps, the Gentex HGU-84/P Rotary Wing Helmet provides protection and comfort in a lightweight, low-profile design. In addition to the unique bungee-style dual visor capability, the HGU-84/P easily integrates with Gentex performance enhancing accessories to provide industry leading comfort, stability, retention, and protection.

Designed to be configured for fixed and rotary wing platforms, the Gentex ALPHA 900 is an optimal solution for users looking to reduce their logistic trail as the helmet system can be configured to provide a variety of capabilities to suit the flight operations specific requirements, including ANR.

Based on the design adopted by the U.K. MoD, and developed in partnership with wet-winch search and rescue aircrew in Bristow Helicopters, the Gentex ALPHA 900 Search and Rescue (SAR) Helmet System is the world’s first waterproof rotary wing helmet system optimized for any search and rescue aircrew personnel conducting air-to-sea operations. Leveraging the modern and lightweight design of the Gentex ALPHA 900 Cross-Platform helmet shell, the Gentex ALPHA 900 SAR features corrosion-resistant hardware, plus a waterproof and salt-fog resistant communications system to ensure continued performance when exposed to water and spray. Optimized for interfacing to common SAR radios and configurable for all major aircraft intercom systems, the Gentex ALPHA 900 SAR is the ideal solution for aircrew operating near water.
