Key Features

Proven Performance

Based on the ALPHA 900 helmet design adopted by the UK MoD, the ALPHA 900 SAR meets all standard impact protection requirements to ensure aircrew safety.

Withstands Harsh Environments

Corrosion-resistant hardware and nape adjustment mechanism preserves the life of the helmet.

Fail-safe Communications

Optimized for air-to-sea search and rescue operations, the ALPHA 900 SAR’s IP67 rated waterproof communications headset prevents failures associated with water and salt fog exposure.

Readily Adaptable

Features a watertight communications downlead which can be connected to an aircraft intercom system during transport, and switched to a radio when disembarking from the aircraft.

Optimal Hearing Protection

Offering an additional 2 dB noise attenuation versus the standard ALPHA 900 platform, the ALPHA 900 SAR provides increased protection from low frequency noise associated with rotary wing aircrafts.

Night Vision Compatible

NVG compatible visor housing allows for integration of NVGs or other headborne optical equipment, while the advanced fitting system maintains helmet stability.
