Blast Helmet

The HGU-99/P combines head protection, high-attenuation hearing protection and integrated communications in one platform, helping personnel operate more safely in dangerous, dynamic and extremely loud aircraft carrier flight deck environments, while also being positioned to deliver exceptional cranial blast overpressure attenuation.

Key features

• Maintains auditory situational awareness: integrated electronic hear-through supports situational awareness by recreating ambient soundscape at safe levels.
• Unified protection system: head, hearing, and communications integrated in one deployable platform.
• Range-ready durability: designed for repeated cycles, rough handling, and high-demand use cases.
• Operational simplicity: quick to brief, straightforward to don/doff, and easy to standardise across teams.

The HGU-99/P provides three layers of passive hearing protection for high attenuation performance:

1. Protective helmet shell with form-fitting edge seal
2. Interior ear cups
3. Optional ear plugs (for maximum noise reduction when required)
