(ACVCH) advanced combat vehicle crewman's helmet

The ACVCH program is a USMC developmental effort. The USMC initiated the program an january 1992. Extensive concept evaluations were conducted on early prototypes developed and built by the USA Natick RD&E center. The evaluations took place at Aberdeen proving ground, Ft. Rucker, the national training center, and at fort Knox. The evaluation results were very favorable. The ACVCH features ballistic protection equivalent to that of the PASGT helmet, a removable faceguard, "talk thru" communications capability, and an improved suspension system which enhances overall system comfort.

This system will allow troops to coordinate through talk thru communications in the helmet. Its also good if troops are on a silence mission they can coordinate what to do and the enemy troops were not hear them.
