Advanced Combat Helmet

The Advanced Combat Helmet (ACH) is a modular system that weighs less, fits better, and is more comfortable than its predecessor, the PASGT helmet.

Enhanced Combat Helmet

The Enhanced Combat Helmet (ECH) was developed in response to a 2009 USON to produce a helmet that providesballistic protection from selected small arms ammunition andfragmentation, yet maintains all other characteristics of the Marine Corps' Lightweight Helmet (LWH) and the Army's Advanced Combat Helmet (ACH).

Marine Corps Lightweight Helmet

The Lightweight Helmet (LWH) replaces the PASGT helmet.The LWH provides protection in various operating environments from fragmentation and 9mm small arms projectiles.

Modular/Integrated Communications Helmet

The Modular Integrated Communications Helmet (MICH) began development in 1997 as part of the Special Operations Forces Personal Equipment Advanced Requirements program at the U.S. Special Operations Command. The MICH provides the Special Operations Forces the flexibility to tailor the communications capability of the helmet to the mission using one modular system.

Ground Troops and Parachutists Helmet

The PASGT helmet is intended for use by ground troops and parachutists to provide ballistic protection from fragmenting munitions to the head, temples, ears, and neck.
