Ops-Core FAST XP Helmet System

Ops-Core is one of our go-to options for helmet systems. The FAST XP offers a thicker shell for added protection at the cost of more system weight. This newest version of the FAST XP features Ops-Core’s LockDown Liner and Head-Loc chin strap for increased comfort.

The Ops-Core aftermarket eco-system is also very robust, allowing end-users plenty of options for mounting ear pro, lights, strobes, helmet covers, and everything in between.

• 1x Ops-Core FAST XP Helmet System
• 1x Ops-Core Accessory Kit

Features

• Provides ballistic protection against 9mm and .44 Magnum rounds (1400 ft/s), full NIJ IIIA and HG2 certification, and enhanced fragmentation protection.
• LockDown Liner System incorporates a user-customizable suspension system with multiple strategically placed pads, encouraging airflow. The LOCKDOWN Comfort Liner, featuring moisture-wicking fabric and reticulated foam, offers adaptable density for diverse head shapes and comfortably supports heavy VAS and NVG systems.
• Conformable nape pad and cable Occ-Dial® offer enhanced stability, securing a larger contact area on the rear of the user's head, adapting to individual contours for an improved fit compared to other, more rigid systems.
• Redesigned Head-Loc Flex retention system introduces a unique convertible chin cup that can be worn either over or under the chin, eliminating the need for a mask extender with the 02 and CBRN kit for most users.
• PowerPath ARC Rail system provides a lightweight mounting solution for Ops-Core headborne systems and features a unique, behind the rail channel for the safe routing of NVG cables.
• Lightweight Modular Bungee Shroud (MBS) reduces snag hazards and features carabiner clips to improve NVG retention and stability while reducing interference with other rail-mounted accessories.
• External VELCRO loop kit allows for quick and easy attachment and detachment of headborne accessories.

Terminology

• Obliquity: Deviation from parallelism or perpendicularity or the amount of such deviation. In our context, without using ten-dollar words, this is the angle at which an object strikes the helmet.
• RCC: Right Circular Cylinder. These are cylinders of varying weights that are used in fragmentation testing.
• FSP: Fragment Simulation Projectiles. Extremely similar to the RCC, but FSPs feature a chisel-shaped nose.
• V₀ or V₅₀: A ballistic test where the helmet is placed over a clay-filled head form that, for helmets, usually includes a sequence of five ballistic impacts, one each to the front, rear, left, and right sides, and the helmet crown. V₀ is the velocity at which zero projectiles penetrate the armor, and V₅₀ is the velocity at which 50% of the projectiles penetrate the armor. These tests are usually performed at 0° obliquity with some tolerance on either side to provide some room for error.

Blunt Impact Protection: <150 Gs at 10 ft/s per ACH CO/PD 05-04:2007

Ballistic Testing

9mm Protection: In accordance with PS-1063, Resistance to Penetration (RTP) and Backface Defamation (BFD): 9mm FMJ, 24gr FMJ at 1,400 ft/s (426 m/s) at 0° obliquity with BFD < 1.0 inch (25.4 mm) (Right, Left, Crown, Front and Back)
