Under the $21m contract, the company, which is one of only two qualified and approved suppliers for the existing ACH, will supply an additional 90,000 helmets to the US military.
The helmets are scheduled to be manufactured at the company’s manufacturing facility in Newport, Vermont, US.
Revision’s CEO Jonathan Blanshay said the company is proven and dependable supplier, having delivered over a million helmets from the Newport manufacturing facility.
”In addition to leveraging existing manufacturing technologies to deliver head protective solutions for today – like the ACH – we’re also shaping the future of soldier protection with innovative composite materials, new manufacturing processes and integrated designs,” Blanshay said.

By GlobalData”In addition to this contract, Revision was recently selected as a development partner for the US Army’s Integrated Head Protection System (IHPS) which promises to become the army’s next widely-fielded head protection system.”
Vermont Senator Patrick Leahy said: ”With this contract, Vermonters will continue to have access to good-quality manufacturing jobs, and our men and women in the field will continue to have access to good-quality protection.”
Fielded in 2003 by Program Executive Office (PEO) as a replacement for the personnel armour system for ground troops (PASGT) helmet, the ACH offers the soldier ballistic and impact protection, while serving as a platform for mounting of communication equipment and night vision devices.
