Galvion has received several recent orders from the Middle Eastern region for a total of 35,000 Baltskin helmet systems.
The 35,000 head systems ordered are split between two of Galvion’s Batlskin helmet platforms: the Baltskin VIPER and Baltskin PDxT variants. Galvion’s PDxT geometry was recently introduced to their commercial helmet portfolio under the name Batlskin Hellbender. Galvion is unable to disclose specific details related to all orders received. However, a trusted regional partner of Galvion’s is among the most recent customers that have placed orders for over 100,000 helmets in the last 10 years for use by Armed Forces and security services in the region.
“Galvion has a long history of supporting our Middle East customers, and we have developed a series of trusted partnerships in the region over many years," said Alex Hooper, Vice President Strategic Markets at Galvion. "These most recent orders are a testament to our successful relationships in the area, and further evidence of Galvion’s global position as the head system provider of choice.”
Hooper added: “We’re excited to be able to make this announcement at IDEX, where we are exhibiting the full breadth of our capabilities. This includes our portfolio of head systems, as well as our expanded Nerv Centr power and data management solutions, which are ideally suited to remote and austere environments with low power availability. We see a significant opportunity for military clients in the region to benefit from our advanced, integrated soldier systems, and we look forward to further supporting our allied Armed Forces across the Middle East.”
