As reported by Peter Suciu in The National Interest, beginning 2023, U.S. Army vehicle crewmen will begin receiving improved helmets that should provide better protection and comfort: last month, the U.S. Army awarded ArmorSource LLC., a Hebron (Ohio)-based ballistic helmet manufacturer, a $6 million contract to supply 14,000 Advanced Combat Vehicle Crewman Helmets (ACVC-H).

ArmorSource will provide the U.S. Army with a modernized version of the crewman helmet based on its next-generation ballistic solutions that utilize some of the most advanced Honeywell ballistic composite materials available, Peter Suciu indicates. The first deliveries of the new ACVC GEN II model are expected to be delivered to the military in early 2023.

Brad Grunden, president of ArmorSource, said: "We are extremely excited for all of the men and women who will soon be equipped with the most advanced combat vehicle crewman helmet technology available in the industry". "ArmorSource's ACVC GEN II helmet exceeds the ballistic and fragmentation performance of the legacy ACVC but at a much lighter weight. We believe this product sets a new standard of safety and comfort for these users."
