Avon Protection has received its first delivery order from the US Army under the Next Generation Integrated Head Protection System (NG IHPS) helmet contract W91CRB-21-D-0022.
Manufacturing ramp-up is progressing to plan after completing rigorous testing, with initial deliveries commencing in the first half of FY23.
According to Avon Protection, this new $42.1 million contract win positions the company as the leading helmet supplier to the US Department of Defense (DoD).
