Morgan Advanced Materials, a world leader in the application of advanced composite material technology, has incorporated TRUST high-performance padding system by D30, a protection solutions company, into its ultra-lightweight combat helmet portfolio, the LASA AC914 and LASA AC915.

The combination of Morgan's hybrid composite ballistic helmet shell technology, with D3O's impact pads is believed to be the most advanced combat helmet in the global market.

The D3O TRUST helmet liner system, created by the experts in real-world impact protection solutions, is engineered using patented composite materials. The seven-piece system which exceeds required Advanced Combat Helmet (ACH) protection levels by 33 per cent at 10 feet per second has now been used by Morgan to complement its world leading ballistic helmet shell technology.

Morgan's LASA AC914 and LASA AC915 ballistic helmets are manufactured using proprietary ultra-lightweight, composite hybrid technology, which provides structure, durability, and a level of protection at weights significantly lower than previously available.

Built for comfort and endurance, the D3O TRUST 10 feet per second blunt trauma impact padding system exceeds all regulatory performance standards, and is recognised as the most durable and comfortable solution on the global market.

Duncan Eldridge, president of Morgan Advanced Materials – composites and defence systems said, “The unrivalled performance of the D3O TRUST padding system and the resulting helmet is one which provides the highest levels ballistic protection at an extraordinarily low weight – a technological advancement which is sure to shape the sector.”

Todd Dunnagan, director – D3O global defence sector said, “Morgan's helmet shell technology provides flammability protection, ballistic protection, and a structurally sound platform for the integration of blunt impact and retention systems, which, combined with the comfort and shock-absorbing capabilities of our D3O TRUST helmet liner system, delivers the ultimate lightweight, high-performance head protection solution.” (GK)
