What Is A Next Generation Integrated Head Protection System?
The NG IHPS is an enhanced headgear designed to provide head protection to mounted and dismounted soldiers. The combat helmet safeguards the user from handgun, moderate rifle and fragmenting munitions. Each NG IHPS is composed of a base ballistic shell modular helmet with retention, suspension and maxillofacial protective systems. It also comes with a helmet cover, hearing protection and the NVD bracket.
The Army Contracting Command in Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland, received one bid through an online solicitation. The project is expected to be completed by Sept. 6, 2028.
LTS previously landed several contracts to provide various protection systems for the Army. In 2019, it was one of three companies awarded spots on a $704.2 million contract to deliver hard armor plates. In the same year, the company was also awarded a spot on a combined $105.4 million to supply medium-sized body armor inserts to the Army and Air Force.
