The Integrated Head Protection System (IHPS) is the United States Army's newest combat helmet, intended to eventually replace the Advanced Combat Helmet and Enhanced Combat Helmet.[1]

It was developed by the US Army PEO Soldier's Soldier Protection System (SPS) program, and is produced by Avon Protection Ceradyne, a subsidiary of Avon Protection.

The helmet was first issued in 2019 to troops deploying to combat zones in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Syria. Between 2018-2022, the Army issued an estimated 119,000 IHPS helmets to soldiers.
