The U.S. Navy has selected the Gentex Pursuit helmet as the Next Generation Fixed-Wing Helmet (NGFWH) to equip its flight crews. The company stated that the U.S. Navy’s Naval Aircrew Systems Program Office (PMA-202) selected its Pursuit helmet as the Next Generation Fixed-Wing Helmet. The new helmet will replace the HGU-68P, also manufactured by Gentex, on all E-2D, F/A-18, E/A-18G, T-45, T-6 aircraft, and eventually across the Undergraduate Jet Training System (UJTS) fleets. Following the selection, the company received a five-year indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (ID/IQ) contract to supply over 5,000 NGFWH systems and associated spare parts, with an estimated value of approximately $22 million. “This contract with the U.S. Navy represents a significant milestone for Gentex and demonstrates our unwavering commitment to developing the world’s most innovative protection solutions for warfighters,” said Robert McCay, Vice President of Aircrew Systems at Gentex Corporation.
