HGU-55/IG Fixed Wing Helmet System with Ejection-Safe NVG Mount Innovative System Offers Unrivaled Safety for Panavia Tornado Aircrew As a world-leader in high performance aircrew head protection systems, Gentex has developed the HGU-55/IG Fixed Wing Helmet System to provide pilots the capability to eject safely from Panavia Tornado aircraft when wearing Night Vision Goggles (NVGs). A special configuration of the industry-leading Gentex HGU-55/P Helmet, the HGU-55/IG is built to include the Gentex Ejection-Safe NVG Mount and NVG power-pack assembly, plus the Gentex STEP-IN® Visor to maintain eye protection during nighttime flight. The Ejection-Safe NVG Mount may also be customized to fit existing Gentex HGU-55/P Helmets to provide similar capability in other fixed wing aircraft in service worldwide. The Gentex HGU-55/IG Helmet System with Ejection-Safe NVG Mount KEY FEATURES Safe Nighttime Ejection The Gentex Ejection-Safe NVG Mount offers the same stable mounting and functionality as standard NVGs during operations while allowing a G-induced directional separation of the NVGs and power-pack assembly during ejection. The NVGs and power-pack breakaway safely from the helmet during ejection to prevent injury during windblast exposure. The Gentex Ejection-Safe NVG Mount Use NVGs in tandem with the Gentex STEP-IN Visor for eye protection or with the Gentex Laser Visor to block laser threats. Seamless Integration When combined with the compatible Gentex HA/LP Oxygen Mask, the system provides complete head and respiratory protection. Customizable Kit NVG mounting hardware is compatible with the standard Gentex HGU-55/P Helmet and can be customized by Gentex to adapt the Ejection-Safe NVG Mount for specific airframes and mission requirements. Maximum Fit and Comfort The Gentex HGU-55/IG Helmet System weighs less than 1.1 kg (excluding visors and NVGs) and includes the Gentex X LINER®, our most advanced, lightweight, comfort-fitting aircrew helmet liner. Nighttime Mission Endurance Added battery power from the small lightweight NVG power-pack allows you to maintain mission endurance during nighttime flight.
