Revision gets into the Soldier Systems helmet business

I fund this rather interesting... Revision was awarded a $2 million contract for the Soldier Systems helmet to develop the U.S. Army’s next-generation head protection system. Here is the press release and some concept pics:

              

Essex Junction, VT, USA (July 29, 2011) – Revision officially marks its expansion into the Soldier Systems helmet business with a significant 3-year contract to develop the U.S. Army’s next-generation head protection system. The $1,990,340 award is for Revision to continue the design, development and demonstration of a modular and scalable headgear system for mounted and dismounted soldiers, and to mature it to a Technology Readiness Level 6. The new system is intended to provide impact protection improvements over current generation helmets and the integration of electronics and power. It will also allow soldiers to tailor their protection level and operating equipment to the specific mission at hand.
