The ability to communicate effectively is paramount in many military operations. The Modular Integrated Communications Helmet (MICH) can be a lifesaver during intense combat situations. The United States Army Soldier Systems Center developed the MICH helmet two decades ago to be the next generation in military headgear. They've since gained widespread use by other service branches.

The MICH is a helmet that can stop handgun rounds and offer reliable protection against shrapnel and falling debris. The low-cut design provides better coverage for the side of the head than an above-the-ear (ATE) model. These helmets also feature a lip by the ear to accommodate headsets and other communications devices.

MICH Helmet NIJ Level IIIA Ballistic Helmet with Below The Ear. The HHV BTE® Ballistic Helmet has become the standard for Military, Law Enforcement, and Security Personnel.

The BTE® Ballistic Helmet shell is pressed with with ballistic fibers from Dupont®(USA) or Teijin®(Netherlands), overseas in China. Providing best-in-class protection at an affordable price. Made from DuPont™ Kevlar®. The Helmet offers significant weight savings, with the BTE® weighing in at 2.60 - 3.3 lbs. We offer this BTE helmet in a basic configuration for single purchases, but can offer shrouds, and other upgrades on bulk purchases.

WHAT TESTING IS MOST IMPORTANT?

When it comes to ensuring a tactical helmet performs there are no shortcuts. There is more than a simple resistance to penetration test, and they are best performed in a laboratory. Military helmets worn by our troops must pass a strenuous string of lab tests before a contract is even awarded. We use these same tests for the baseline of our helmets, then meet and exceed them. Any tactical ballistic helmet you ever consider purchasing should at the very least have satisfactory RTP (Resistance To Penetration), BTD (commonly referred to as Backface Deformation), V50, and Blunt Impact test data for review upon request from the manufacturer. We like to go a step further and publish this information directly on our website for review!

ATE® GEN2 BALLISTIC TESTING DATA

BALLISTIC PENETRATION TEST DATA

V50 BALLISTIC LIMIT TEST DATA

RTP / BTD TEST DATA

BLUNT IMPACT TEST DATA

COMPRESSION TEST DATA

V50 BALLISTIC TESTING INFORMATION

Is defined as the average of an equal number of highest partial penetration velocities and the lowest complete penetration velocities which occur within a specified velocity spread. In simple terms, you are testing the ballistic limits of the tactical helmet.

Process:

The tactical helmet is mounted to head form with 2024-T3 Alum witness plate.
The helmet is fired upon. Typically starting with a high starting velocity, then decreasing powder charge and velocities to produce complete, partial and no penetrations.
High partial and low complete penetrations are recorded. V50 velocity is then calculated.

BTD/BFD TESTING INFORMATION

Helmet BFD is measured by the non-perforating ballistic impacts from RTP testing. It is defined as the maximum depth in the post-impact clay surface at the predetermined impact location as measured from the original clay surface.

Process

After mounting the helmet on the head form and mounting the head form in the test fixture, the tactical helmet is removed from the head form, and the clay surface is scanned with a laser.
The helmet is then reattached to the head form and the shot taken.
The tactical helmet is again removed from the headform, inspected for penetration and perforation, and the clay is rescanned with the laser to calculate BFD.

BLUNT IMPACT TESTING INFORMATION

Helmet blunt impact testing is designed to measure the protection against realistic blunt impact threats including falls, parachute drops, and motor vehicle crashes.

Process:

Tactical helmet is positioned on a monorail drop tower.
Helmet is dropped on different impact sites. (Crown, Front, Back, Right, Nape, Left Nape, Left Lateral, Right Lateral).
Peak acceleration is measured (G's)

Users want to know that their helmets will keep them safe when it matters the most. Our MICH helmets check all the boxes regarding the relevant testing requirements in critical areas such as ballistic, impact, fragment and blunt impact performance. While other manufacturers may claim that their helmets will defeat threats, HHV has the testing data to back it up. You can trust that your headgear will respond to the challenge during the most extreme combat conditions.

At HHV, we believe that a helmet must be comfortable and fit correctly. We've installed Slow Rebound Memory Foam padding in our MICH helmet that eliminates hot spots and prevents fatigue during periods of extended wear. It also allows the wearer to reposition it as conditions change. Other built-in comfort features include an adjustable rear support and chin strap.

Speaking of fit, we offer this MICH Kevlar helmet in multiple sizes, ensuring you can find the right match for your head. If you're not sure whether a small, medium, large or large/extra-large is right for you, the guidelines in the sizing chart below can help. You can either use your hat size or head circumference (when measured around the temples and above the ears) when making your choice.

If your measurement falls in between two sizes, we recommend using the higher figure. We also allow you to exchange an improperly fitting helmet if needed.

We offer our MICH helmets in several colors to ensure your headgear meets your unique operational and environmental requirements. Select from tan, black and olive drab green. Red matte and white are also available for EMS and bulk fire purchases.
