PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Ops-Core's new FAST SF Helmet System is the lightest weight ballistic headborne system yet. This remarkable reduction in weight is made possible by the integration of three advanced subsystems: the next-generation FAST SF ballistic shell, the LockDown™ Liner, and the Head-Loc® Flex chinstrap.

With the introduction of the new FAST SF Helmet System comes the additional capability of the RAILINK enabled FAST SF Helmet System. RAILINK Power and Data System is an innovative power and data solution that is the first of its kind. RAILINK Power and Data ARC Rails serve as the backbone of a rapidly evolving, scalable ecosystem, enabling seamless connectivity across your headborne system. With RAILINK, users can effortlessly integrate compatible accessories without the need for additional batteries or complex cable management.

Designed and rigorously tested with extensive feedback from elite US military and law enforcement personnel, this is the platform of the future, adding additional capability to the headborne system with new accessories.

FEATURES & SPECIFICATIONS

  • Ballistic protection from 9mm rounds (1200f/s) with a shell weight of just 1.23 lbs/557 grams (Size L) the FAST SF offers the same level of ballistic protection as its predecessor but with a 10% reduction in overall system weight.
  • 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.
  • LockDown 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.
  • LockDown cable system enables an interference-free fit with headband communication 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.
  • RAILINK Arc Rails combine the industry standard dovetail track for mechanical accessory attachment with an integrated power and data transmission network.
  • Power & Data from a Single Source means dedicated circuits provide power and high bandwidth data to VAS/NVG and accessory systems, all powered from a single source.
  • Accessories are connected to the system through Smart Nodes, providing mechanical attachment as well as electronic power and low speed data connection.
  • The universal RAILINK VAS/NVG power interface allows the use of a broad array of night visions systems, including the latest systems that incorporate fused thermal channels and require power and data to operate. Dedicated cabled routed within the RAILINK system streamline fitment by removing the need for externally routed battery pack cables and reduce undesirable snag hazards.
  • Using a communications protocol, power and data are routed through the network from node to node and the Batter Pack+, which can serve as a controller to share information around the helmet and supports sharing across a network to other soldier systems.
  • RAILINK has been designed to be backward and forward compatible with all FAST high cut helmet systems.
  • With VAS systems and all accessories drawing power from the single source of RAILINK, the accessories themselves become much smaller and can also be mounted in closer proximity to the center of gravity of the helmet, which results in a lowering of fatigue to the wearer during extended operations.
  • Mounting outside of the ARC rail dovetail track means more open space for other accessories. Drawing from a single power source means added simplicity for the user, eliminating the need for managing multiple types of batteries per device.
