Devil Dogs select Hellbender helmet system

GALVION has been awarded the UNITED STATES MARINE CORPS (USMC) Integrated Helmet System (IHS) contract. The GALVION IHS is a functionally robust mission-focused system optimized to meet all USMC technical requirements.  

The no-through hole, hi-cut helmet is a proprietary geometry (introduced commercially as the Hellbender platform earlier this year) that combines an ECH front shape for ease-of-integration with existing accessories and a ridged-back design that provides structural stability.  It features the latest version of GALVION’s Apex lining system that includes improvements incorporated as a direct result of Marine feedback. This has created a better-fitting, better balanced, and more stable helmet platform for SBNVG and ECOTI mounting. The helmet was designed to support single-size components (NVG shroud, rails, harness, accessory straps) for ease of maintenance and supply logistics, with a clear upgrade and support path through its service life. GALVION’s E.D.G power management system also integrates easily, offering scalable operational capability for Marines.  

GALVION designed, built and tested prototypes demonstrating technical capabilities and integration with current USMC equipment including communication devices and visual augmentation systems, and delivered over 1000 systems across two configurations to meet the Marine Corps trial and evaluation requirements. The five-year indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contract from the Marine Corps Systems Command (MCSC) has a maximum value of over $130M.
