The NG IHPS is an advanced ballistic helmet which was first issued to US Army troops in February 2024, it provides higher levels of ballistic and fragmentation protection to troops on the ground, providing protection against rifle rounds while maintaining a similar weight profile.
Based in Melksham, Wiltshire, Avon Technologies provides respiratory and ballistic protection to militaries and law enforcement agencies worldwide, including supplying the UK military and US Army's gas masks and underwater rebreathers to the Germany Navy.
Avon Technologies has made significant progress on a turnaround over the last two years, with shares rising over 55% in 2024.
Jos Sclater, Chief Executive Officer, commented: "We continue to see good levels of demand for Team Wendy’s head protection systems from the US DOD demonstrating our leading ballistic shell and traumatic brain injury mitigation technology and long-term contract positions.
"We look forward to continuing our support to the US military with this vital, lifesaving, protection equipment.”
