‘In addition to leveraging existing manufacturing technologies to deliver head protective solutions for today-like the ACH-we're also shaping the future of soldier protection with innovative composite materials, new manufacturing processes and integrated designs.’
Revision has fulfilled a number of large-scale US and international military helmet orders, including a previous contract with the DLA for 90,000 units.
