The Ops-Core FTHS helmet platforms are the latest evolution of the FAST® helmet systems currently worn by USSOCOM. These helmet systems incorporate the latest innovations in materials and technology, resulting in lightweight helmet systems that are optimized to meet the mission of the USSOCOM operator. By continuing to leverage the FAST geometry, all components on the FTHS Helmet systems are legacy compatible with currently fielded FAST helmets.
FAST Helmet Shell Architecture
- Optimized Edgetrim: Allows more room for communications headsets
- Carbon-Fiber Edgeband: Increases the overall strength and rigidity of the helmet shell
- Thinner: 0.84mm thinner than Legacy FAST Maritime helmet (Previously the thinnest FAST Helmet)
- Lighter: 12% lighter than Legacy FAST Maritime Helmet (Previously the lightest FAST Helmet)
- Improved Frag Performance: The FTHS helmet systems use the same FAST base geometry that is the foundation of legacy SOCOM helmet systems such as the FAST Maritime and FAST LBH. Process and material innovations have led to a shell that offers improved protection in a lighter, thinner helmet shell
