- Description
- The USAF has allocated up to $20 million to redesign and replace the Fixed Wing (plane) helmet used by pilots and aircrew. Whether you make or design entire helmet systems or just components that are, or might be related, we're challenging you to help us create the helmet of the future. This challenge is a new initiative for USAF and uses the AFWERX team and process to find people with the ideas, components, materials and technologies to improve the Fixed Wing Aircrew Helmet. Even if you aren't sure your technology could be used in a USAF helmet still submit your ideas so we can engage with you. The helmet of tomorrow needs to be lightweight, comfortable, stable, improved noise protection, have better thermal management and the ability to tailor the helmet for different needs. The goal is to enhance aircrew performance, safety and satisfaction. ALL Non-traditional are invited to participate!!!!!!!!!
