ILC Dover Integrated Ballistic Helmet (IBH)

Many readers have been asking us about this mysterious helmet for the past 6 years. Now and finally, let us introduce to you.......the great IBH helmet from ILC Dover.

This super famous Helmet has been seen used by SEALs, CCT, and PJs (SOCOM) during late 1990s and early 2000s. I remembered the first time I saw the IBH was in the book "American Special Forces". The outlook of the IBH is very impressive and futuristic, just like some sort of space stuffs !

Damn right, IBH was made by ILC Dover, the company that makes NASA space suits and participates in many high tech defense projects. This cool helmet is made by ILC Dover in 1995 - 1996. According to ILC Dover, only 741 pieces were made. It is primarily developed for SOCOM, and the FBI. Now, let's look at the features of the IBH.

The IBH offers lightweight limited small arms and frag protection, hearing protection, full communication capability, night vision capability, gas mask capability, even HALO face mask capability. Now, just imagine this was done 12 years ago !!! Totally amazing !!

Communication system of the IBH is called AHS (Ambient Hearing System). The earcups are removable, providing sound attenuations, additional ballistic protections, communication capabilities including ear speakers and boom mic wiring. The boom mic can be set at the right or left. The boom mic provides communications interface to standard military communication gear. The two communication cords are removable. It is a dual cord communication system, allowing you to use two radios at the same time, like PRC radios, Motorola MX300R and Saber radio.

Removable oxygen mask receivers which provides interface to PHAOS Parachutist Mask, MBU type oxygen mask, and the gas masks.

For the NVG mounts, there are many options. The original mount is made for AN/AVS-6 NVG. Wilcox Industry later offers several mounts for the IBH. These mounts fit the more popular PVS-7, PVS-14, PVS-15 and PVS-18 NVGs.

Innovative replaceable comfort/ sizing pads which provide profit helmet sizing as well as a comfortable interface with the user. Replicable foam impact layer provides limited impact protection. Four point replaceable chin / nape strap provides proper helmet adjustment.

Despite all the above cool features, IBH production was discontinued. Rumor said it didn't pass all the tests required by SOCOM (correct us if we were wrong). Only 741 pieces were ever produced according to ILC Dover.

Special thanks to ILC Dover, Blackhawk industries, ATS tactical, Wilcox industries, and readers who help us to prepare this page ! It is an honor to introduce this super helmet, we hope you all love it.
