Ideas about safeguarding the soldier used to be predominantly defensive. Today, the ability to offensively respond to threats

faster than the enemy is crucial to the concept of protection.

The human brain, eyes and ears are highly evolved to sense and react instantaneously. Yet with the advent of new technologies

to enhance these senses and increase awareness, todays soldier has been burdened by an excessive amount of equipment to

carry on the head. Traditional military helmets were never intended for this purpose and therefore provide a solution that is

uncomfortable, unstable and often compromises the very senses it is trying to protect.

Helmets, gas masks, goggles, visors, mandibles, communication headsets, illuminators and identification devices are all made by

different companies that focus on the performance of their own product. Until now, the soldier was left to figure out how to make

them all work together. A synergetic system can only result from the careful consideration of all the devices and cooperation

between the various headborne equipment manufacturers.

Ops-Core offers multiple helmet solutions, upgrade components and accessories to create a platform with the sole purpose

of achieving this goal. By respecting the anatomy of the elite warrior and the complexity of the equipment, we have built a

foundation for all the elements to work in harmony and yield a solution far greater than the sum of its parts.

PROTECTING THE ELITE WARRIOR

Ops-Cores hybrid suspension/liner design features an adjustable circumferential tband with repositionable impact pads. The tband

allows the user to precisely adjust the liner shape and size for a customized t and optimal comfort. Not only can the length, width,

and overall shape be personalized by simply turning the knob dial, the helmet depth can also be set by adjusting the vertical position

of the whole system. This provides a perfect and secure t that is able to support the weight and moment forces of a helmet in

demanding military operations.

The liner system is also compatible with a variety of communication headsets and hearing protection devices, including headband style

COMMs. The headband slides under the tband to rest in between the helmets two top impact pads eliminating pressure points and

interference that is a common problem with traditional liner systems. The impact pads are also pre-molded to the shape of the head

and are not affected by temperature, altitude or moisture.

OPS-CORE USES PROPER ANTHROPOMETRICS

AND GEOMETRY TO COMFORTABLY FIT AND

STABILIZE THE HELMET ON THE HEAD

COMFORT = FIT + STABILITY + MATERIAL DESIGN COMFORT = FIT + STABILITY +MATERIAL DESIGNThe patented Head-Loc Retention system design has a unique strap geometry that

creates straight force lines to evenly distribute helmet loads to the head. This eliminates

pre-existing slack in the system that causes instability and slipping problems inherent to

all other conventional chinstraps.

Head-Loc tabs do away with loose strap ends and provide quick and easy one-handed

adjustment. This also keeps the design low prole, lightweight, and sn ag free.

During use, these innovative features offer a retention solution that is secure, comfortable

and adaptable to a variety of mission scenarios and environmental conditions. When

wearing night vision goggles or conducting rigorous physical activates, the helmet can be

stabilized without use of counterweights or other cumbersome devices. This facilitates a

high performance head-borne platform that stays put and does not op around in ways

that could be detrimental to the task at hand.

STABILITY MATTERS: CHINSTRAP COMPARISON

Helmets are worn for extensive periods of time under extreme environmental conditions. Therefore, materials

selected for helmet components must be able to withstand signicant amounts of wear and tear while also

providing the user consistent protection, comfort and support. These requirements can be contradictory and

difcult to achieve and often require innovative solutions and unique combinations of materials and parts.

A good example of this is the h elmet liner impact pad. Theoretically, the most comfortable pad would be very soft

so as to conform to different shape heads and cover as much surface area as possible to reduce pressure points.

But if this is accomplished, it will create unwanted heat du e to insulating effects, added weight due to increased

surface area, and moisture absorption in the open cell foam. The soft foam would also not be good at mitigating

impact energy caused by low speed impacts or shell backface deformation from projectiles.

Instead, Ops-Core uses different materials carefully designed and chosen to work in combination with one another

to provide the desired performance benets. The resulting components represent just a few of the many ways we

are trying to improve the comfort, ventilation, protection, and stability of our 2011 products.

Understanding Coverage

Traditional methods for determining the amount of

protective coverage a helmet provides are based on

calculating the exterior surface area of the helmet shell.

However, it can be misleading when comparing different

helmet shapes because in this scenario, larger helmet

surface area does not necessarily mean larger head

coverage area. For this reason, Ops-Core uses standardized

computer modeling techniques to project a line-of-sight

shadow from a helmet onto the largest head-form for a

given helmet size. The surface area of this shadow is then

measured to yield the true amount of the head that would

actually be protected by this helmet as worn in real life.

The H-Nape is intended for operators conducting rigorous activities while wearing NVGs like the PVS-15 or

ANViS-9 with heavier accessories mounted to the helmet. This added weight and subsequent CG problems

can make the helmet (and NVGs) unstable and cause it to rotate or slip front to back during use. When

NVGs are not stable they are difcult to see through and when they are difcult to see throug h, they are

not effective. We have received reports of helmets being so unstable that they slipped and h it users in the

face, hard enough to cause disorientation which c an be detrimental when trying to operate a vehicle or

control a canopy.

X-Nape Chinstrap

The X-Nape is intended for users conducting rigorous activities while wearing lighter NVGs like the PVS-14

or having smaller accessory equipment mounted to the helmet. Without the added weight of heavier

devices, the X-Nape provides the same security and comfort as the H-Nape and does not require a fth

adjustment point on the back. Unlike competitor designs that require removal of the mounting screws

to set the height of the nape pad, the X-Nape version self-adjusts to the back of the skull resulting in an

ultra-clean, low-prole system.
