Overview
Constructed of Graphite/Aramid shells to suit a full range of high-G mission needs, the lightweight standard version reduces head-borne weight while maintaining strength. For high-performance maneuvers up to +9 Gs and to help prevent G-induced Loss of Consciousness (GLOC), the Gentex Lightweight HGU-55/P Combat Edge Helmet is the standard for all U.S. Air Force F-15 and F-16 aircrew. This technologically advanced system provides pilots with a decisive edge in combat by reducing fatigue so they may perform more high-G missions per day without compromising performance.
