Gentex Corporation Announces Start of Production of Second Generation Advanced Combat Helmet Generation (ACH Gen ll) for the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA)

CARBONDALE, PA – Gentex Corporation, the global leader in personal protection and situational awareness solutions for defense forces, emergency responders, and industrial personnel, has received production authorization from the Defense Logistics Agency for ACH Gen II. The Government will start receiving deliveries in the coming months.

Gentex’s state-of-the-art Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE) design offers soldiers a helmet that is, on average, over 28% lighter than the legacy aramid Advanced Combat Helmet (ACH), while still providing the same level of ballistic protection. The ACH Gen II also has an innovative boltless retention design that allows the chin strap to be interchangeable with the Next Generation – Integrated Head Protection System (NG-IHPS) chinstrap.

Gentex is proud to continue its long legacy as a supplier to DLA and as a supplier of Advanced Combat Helmets to the US Government.
