The ACH MICH helmet, which is in service with the US Army, has replaced the PASGT helmet.
Compared to the PASGT helmet, the ASN has a reduced protection area, removing the front protrusion — the "visor" — to improve upward visibility, as well as to facilitate the installation of night vision device mounting rails. The side edges of the helmet are raised so that the entire bottom edge of the helmet behind the temples is "flat" compared to the PASGT, which has an outward curved back. This feature provides better compatibility with different headsets, as well as better audibility in the absence of such equipment. The result is an increase in the field of view and improved perception of the sound background, which together provides the best command of the combat situation compared to previous generation helmets.
The protective part of the helmet is made of organotextolite based on a new improved variety of Kevlar fabric. The "surface density" of the first batches of ASN helmets was 11 kg/m², with a protective part thickness of 8.13 mm. The ACH is superior to the PASGT helmet in terms of resistance to a 9mm full-shell bullet (weight 8.04 g).
The helmet comes with a suspension system and protective pads for comfortable wearing.
The MICH helmet is equipped with a Revision Batlskin Cobra Virtus ballistic eye and chin guard that protects the eyes and jaw from debris and ballistic elements.
