FBI selects Hellbender FE helmet

GALVION has announced a contract award by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) for their Hellbender Federal Edition (FE) helmet. This 5-year, $10 Million indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contract also includes other Department of Justice agency components such as the DEA, and US Marshals.

The Hellbender platform has been developed and refined over multiple years, with feedback from some of the world’s most demanding teams.  The proprietary geometry of the Hellbender system maximizes comfort, fit and stability with a unique helmet profile and features the APEX liner system.  Advanced platform options include modular upgrades such as maxillofacial protection, integration of GALVION’s E.D.G power and data management system, as well as a suite of accessories, including helmet covers, strobes, task lights, and NVG mounts. 

The Hellbender FE ballistic helmet model is molded, assembled, and built in Newport, Vermont, USA and meets the requirements of the DEA and FBI Ballistic Testing Helmet Protocol 2024. The helmet is available in hi-cut as well as a unique mid/full cut, features single-sized components for flexibility to integrate equipment, and is highly configurable to meet rapidly evolving threat and operational needs. The Hellbender system has also been specifically designed to support upgradeability, maintenance, and refurbishment paths.
