Comfortable NVG Mount, Battery Pack Helmet Combination
At Heli-Expo 2017, Aviation Specialties Unlimited displayed a new product combination designed for a more rugged, lighter, comfortable mission experience. The product showcases the new ASU aviation night vision helmet mount and battery pack known as the Aeronox®
,
along with the Aspida™ carbon Paraclete Aviation Life Support helmet with the Kairos™ Retention Assembly, and ASU white phosphor night vision goggles.
“This combination of the new helmet and mount vastly improves the user experience,” said ASU Senior Business Development Manager Kim Harris. “As a pilot that has flown with night vision goggles for decades, I have experienced first-hand
how much the lighter helmet, battery pack and goggle mount can decrease strain on a pilot or crew members wearing the equipment. When flying several missions, every ounce matters. We worked with the manufacturer, Wilcox Industries to make sure the new battery pack and helmet mount were game changers in the industry. The addition of the Paraclete carbon helmet reduces strain even further without sacrificing durability or protection.”
“For more than 20 years, ASU has built an internal team of experts that have collectively grown the company to the global presence that it is today,” said Winkel.
“Mike
and Chris Atwood and the ASU team were trailblazers not only for ASU, but also for the advancement of night vision goggle use in the entire civilian market. Fortunately for us, the people at ASU that are taking on new roles have
been trained, equipped and prepared for their new jobs during the last 20 years. With the addition of new team members and expanding roles, ASU is poised for great growth in the future.
