Another win for Revision Military as they get awarded another, and bigger contract to supply the Advanced Combat Helmet II for the U.S. Army. This order is worth US$98 million entailing the company to supply the Army over 293,000 units.

This is not the first time that Revision Military won a contract to supply helmets for the U.S. Army. In 2014, the company won a US$21 million contract to supply 90,000 ACH helmets.

The ACH II Helmet is said to be lighter by than the current helmet by 24 percent. The current helmet weighs around 3 pounds. Before, Gentex Corporation supplied the ACH helmets for the U.S. Army, but 34,218 helmets were recalled as certain screws for the chinstrap and other parts of the helmet were not conforming to standards which the company blamed on a subcontractor for fabricating compliance certificates. The screws failed at extreme temperatures during ballistic tests.
