2011 Ops-Core Catalog

PROTECTING THE ELITE WARRIOR Ideas about safeguarding the soldier used to be predominantly defensive. Today, the ability to offensively respond to threats faster than the enemy is crucial to the concept of protection.

The human brain, eyes and ears are highly evolved to sense and react instantaneously. Yet with the advent of new technologies to enhance these senses and increase awareness, today’s soldier has been burdened by an excessive amount of equipment to carry on the head. Traditional military helmets were never intended for this purpose and therefore provide a “solution” that is uncomfortable, unstable and often compromises the very senses it is trying to protect.

Helmets, gas masks, goggles, visors, mandibles, communication headsets, illuminators and identification devices are all made by different companies that focus on the performance of their own product. Until now, the soldier was left to figure out how to make them all work together. A synergetic system can only result from the careful consideration of all the devices and cooperation between the various headborne equipment manufacturers.

Ops-Core offers multiple helmet solutions, upgrade components and accessories to create a platform with the sole purpose of achieving this goal. By respecting the anatomy of the elite warrior and the complexity of the equipment, we have built a foundation for all the elements to work in harmony and yield a solution far greater than the sum of its parts.

Ops-Core’s hybrid suspension/liner design features an adjustable circumferential fitband with repositionable impact pads. The fitband allows the user to precisely adjust the liner shape and size for a customized fit and optimal comfort. Not only can the length, width, and overall shape be personalized by simply turning the knob dial, the helmet depth can also be set by adjusting the vertical position of the whole system. This provides a perfect and secure fit that is able to support the weight and moment forces of a helmet in demanding military operations. The liner system is also compatible with a variety of communication headsets and hearing protection devices, including headband style COMMs. The headband slides under the fitband to rest in between the helmet’s two top impact pads eliminating pressure points and interference that is a common problem with traditional liner systems. The impact pads are also pre-molded to the shape of the head and are not affected by temperature, altitude or moisture.

COMFORT = FIT +

STABILITY

The patented Head-Loc Retention system design has a unique strap geometry that creates straight force lines to evenly distribute helmet loads to the head. This eliminates pre-existing slack in the system that causes instability and slipping problems inherent to all other conventional chinstraps. Head-Loc tabs do away with loose strap ends and provide quick and easy one-handed adjustment. This also keeps the design low profile, lightweight, and snag free.

COMFORT = FIT + STABILITY +

STABILITY MATTERS : CHINSTRAP COMPARISON

Helmets are worn for extensive periods of time under extreme environmental conditions. Therefore, materials selected for helmet components must be able to withstand significant amounts of wear and tear while also providing the user consistent protection, comfort and support. These requirements can be contradictory and difficult to achieve and often require innovative solutions and unique combinations of materials and parts.

STABLE

ABLE UNST

During use, these innovative features offer a retention solution that is secure, comfortable and adaptable to a variety of mission scenarios and environmental conditions. When wearing night vision goggles or conducting rigorous physical activates, the helmet can be stabilized without use of counterweights or other cumbersome devices. This facilitates a high performance head-borne platform that stays put and does not flop around in ways that could be detrimental to the task at hand.

A good example of this is the helmet liner impact pad. Theoretically, the most comfortable pad would be very soft so as to conform to different shape heads and cover as much surface area as possible to reduce pressure points. But if this is accomplished, it will create unwanted heat due to insulating effects, added weight due to increased surface area, and moisture absorption in the open cell foam. The soft foam would also not be good at mitigating impact energy caused by low speed impacts or shell backface deformation from projectiles. Instead, Ops-Core uses different materials carefully designed and chosen to work in combination with one another to provide the desired performance benefits. The resulting components represent just a few of the many ways we are trying to improve the comfort, ventilation, protection, and stability of our 2011 products.

Traditional methods for determining the amount of protective coverage a helmet provides are based on calculating the exterior surface area of the helmet shell. However, it can be misleading when comparing different helmet shapes because in this scenario, larger helmet surface area does not necessarily mean larger head coverage area. For this reason, Ops-Core uses standardized computer modeling techniques to “project” a line-of-sight “shadow” from a helmet onto the largest head-form for a given helmet size. The surface area of this shadow is then measured to yield the true amount of the head that would actually be protected by this helmet “as worn” in real life.

• Available in DSM Dyneema HB-26 and HB-80 ballistic core materials • Based on our standard FAST ballistic helmet, the Full Ear version offers increased surface area to provide more head coverage than the ACH

• Intended for use with inner-ear hearing protection and

communications equipment, the lack of the “ear bulge” also yields a lower profile and improves natural hearing localization and attenuation * This helmet is not compatible with earcup style hearing protection and communication products

Head Coverage

• This new helmet shell provides the same level of protective coverage and meets all of

the US Army’s ACH CO/PD-05-04 2007 requirements with a shape that offers significant additional performance benefits

• The Sentry’s ballistic shell is based on FAST helmet pedigree with hybrid materials

weighing a 1/2 lb. less than the ACH, but with processing improvements to provide even better ballistic backface deformation performance of less than 5/8” (16 mm)

• This refined shell shape also provides better hearing localization and attenuation than

the ACH with a modified ear area shape and is compatible with ARC rail mounted Peltor style hearing protection and COMMs devices

• The Sentry utilizes an improved liner and suspension system that provides the same

comfort and stability as our FAST helmets but with increased protection by mitigating blunt trauma impacts of 14 f/s instead of the traditional ACH requirement of 10 f/s

• New “Worm-Dial” occipital fitband adjustment system takes up less interior helmet

H-Nape Chinstrap

X-Nape Chinstrap

The H-Nape is intended for operators conducting rigorous activities while wearing NVGs like the PVS-15 or ANViS-9 with heavier accessories mounted to the helmet. This added weight and subsequent CG problems can make the helmet (and NVGs) unstable and cause it to rotate or slip front to back during use. When NVGs are not stable they are difficult to see through and when they are difficult to see through, they are not effective. We have received reports of helmets being so unstable that they slipped and hit users in the face, hard enough to cause disorientation which can be detrimental when trying to operate a vehicle or control a canopy.

The X-Nape is intended for users conducting rigorous activities while wearing lighter NVGs like the PVS-14 or having smaller accessory equipment mounted to the helmet. Without the added weight of heavier devices, the X-Nape provides the same security and comfort as the H-Nape and does not require a fifth adjustment point on the back. Unlike competitor designs that require removal of the mounting screws to set the height of the nape pad, the X-Nape version self-adjusts to the back of the skull resulting in an ultra-clean, low-profile system.

STABILITY MATTERS

(H-Nape and X-Nape)

EASE OF USE • Patented Head-Loc tabs provide instant one-handed chinstrap adjustment while wearing the helmet SIMPLIFIED STRAP GEOMETRY • Straight force lines and unique design eliminate loose ends COMFORT • Padded leather chin cup and nape pad provide support during long missions • Custom webbing weave provides greater durability and ventilation • Available in left or right eye configurations to keep buckle on opposite side of weapon sighting
