The Integrated Head Protection System (IHPS) is the United States Army's newest combat helmet, intended to eventually replace the Advanced Combat Helmet and Enhanced Combat Helmet.
It was developed by the US Army PEO Soldier's Soldier Protection System (SPS) program, and is produced by Avon Protection Ceradyne, a subsidiary of Avon Protection.
The helmet was first issued in 2019 to troops deploying to combat zones in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Syria. Between 2018 and 2022, the Army issued an estimated 119,000 IHPS helmets to soldiers.
