Bristol, United Kingdom. 20 September 2022. Galvion, a world leader in innovative head protection systems and power and data management
solutions, with operationally proven pedigree in NATO countries, is excited to be introducing their
new Cobra Hi-Cut combat helmet to UK and European markets at DVD 2022. The new helmet has
been developed to expand the Cobra helmet platform range and specifically, to enable the use of a
wider range of communication and hearing protection systems. Galvion’s new Hi-Cut Batlskin®
Cobra helmet, along with the full suite of Nerv Centr® power and data provision and management
solutions, will be on display at DVD 2022 on booth C3-502.
Galvion’s Cobra helmet system was one of the first ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene shells
introduced with a comprehensive suite of modular components to accommodate widely used headborne accessories, allowing soldiers to quickly up-armour to suit mission needs. It further
revolutionized the market with its customizable, comfort-fit Modular Suspension System (MSS),
offering not only a lighter weight helmet, but a more comfortable one, while still providing superior
levels of blunt force and ballistic protection. Since its introduction in 2012, Galvion has delivered
over 200,000 Cobra systems to UK and European users.
Peter Rafferty, Galvion’s UK President said: “We continue to deliver our Full-Cut Cobra helmet
systems today, and also offer customers refurbishment programs, including upgrading with rail
systems and to our APEX liner system, which is optimized for long-term comfort and offers fullcoverage impact protection.” Rafferty continued: “The new Cobra Hi-Cut variant was developed in
response to continued and growing needs to accommodate a wider range of communication,
situational awareness and hearing protection systems as well as the need to provide an expanded
platform for accessory integration. This new cut retains all the functionality and protection levels
that end-users expect of a Galvion head system. We’re proud to offer additional options for our UK
and European customers to ensure through-life value for our helmet platforms.” He added:
“Looking ahead, Galvion will continue to work with key partners around the globe to reshape the
next generation of integrated head systems to meet the ever-changing needs of tomorrow’s
battlefield.”
