Acquisition of military helmets

Danish Defence Acquisition and Logistics Organisation (DALO)

The helmet will be tendered as a “Military off-the-shelf” product. The helmet must have a high protection level against both fragments & projectiles. Furthermore the helmet must have been operational tested; which means that the helmet has been tested by a unit from NATO Allies partner with a documented appertaining evaluation.
Minimum requirements:
The coverage area of the helmet must correspond to MEDIUM CUT (ACH).
To support the soldier’s situational awareness the helmet must be available in 4 – 5 sizes covering a circumference of 54-64 centimetres and there must be 2 to 3 possibilities of adjusting the helmet ensuring that it can be firmly tightened. The construction of the helmet must allow the adjustment to be carried out using one hand without leaving any loose straps. The chinstraps must be adjustable to fit all sizes and shapes of chins. The helmet retention system must, as a minimum, be a four point harness system.
Furthermore, the helmet must be designed to be used by soldiers operating the weapon from either the left or the right side.
The materiel used should contribute to a low overall weight and the weight of helmets with a circumference 56-59 centimeters should not exceed 1 250 grams. A low weight with a high protection level against both fragments & projectiles will be given a high score in the evaluation. Ballistic screws must be used.
The helmet must be designed to allow mounting of standard equipment for a combat soldier e.g. sensors, battlefield combat identification, sights and with the possibility to add counterbalance on the back of the helmets. Mounting of mandible guard to secure the soldier from stroke and shock must also be possible. The helmet must be delivered with or must be prepared for the mounting of a bracket for using NVG.
