Galvion Secures Landmark Order for 35,000 Batlskin Helmet Systems from Middle East

Galvion, a global leader in military head protection and soldier system technology, has secured a major contract from the Middle East for 35,000 Batlskin helmet systems. The announcement, made during IDEX 2025, highlights Galvion’s continued expansion in the region and the growing demand for next-generation ballistic helmets.

Cutting-Edge Helmet Systems for Modern Warfare

The order includes two of Galvion’s most advanced helmet platforms:

• Batlskin VIPER A1 Special Edition – Designed for elite military units, this helmet features a high-cut aramid shell, a custom camouflage cover, and a bespoke helmet bag.
• Batlskin PDxT (Hellbender™) – Known for its battle-tested durability, this variant offers a reinforced rear ballistic profile, superior impact resistance, and an ACH-front design for enhanced protection.

Both models are equipped with Galvion’s Modular Suspension System (MSS), which improves comfort, air circulation, and stability, making them ideal for extended combat missions.

A Decade-Long Commitment to Middle Eastern Forces

Galvion has built a strong partnership with regional defence forces, having supplied over 100,000 helmets to military and security units in the last decade. The latest contract underscores the trust and confidence placed in Galvion’s technology, as regional armies seek battle-proven protective gear for their personnel.

Alex Hooper, Vice President of Strategic Markets at Galvion, emphasized the significance of the deal:

"We have a long-standing relationship with Middle Eastern military forces, and these latest orders reaffirm their trust in our head protection solutions. Alongside our Batlskin helmets, we are also introducing our expanded Nerv Centr® power and data management solutions at IDEX 2025, which are well-suited for the harsh operational environments of the region."

Strengthening Military Readiness with Innovative Gear

The Middle Eastern order signals a major investment in soldier survivability. By integrating high-performance ballistic protection with advanced suspension systems, Galvion’s Batlskin helmets offer enhanced defense against battlefield threats while maintaining lightweight agility for troops in high-intensity operations.

As modern warfare evolves, battlefield protection remains a top priority, and Galvion’s cutting-edge helmet technology is poised to play a vital role in securing soldiers in the Middle East and beyond.
