CARBONDALE, PA, January 16, 2025 – Gentex Corporation, a global leader in personal protection and situational awareness solutions for defense forces, emergency responders, and industrial personnel, announced the launch of the Ops-Core NOMAD (Night Operations Mounting and Deployment) System, a highly stable, low-profile head harness engineered to securely mount night vision and visual augmentation system(NVG/VAS) without the need for a traditional ballistic or bump helmet.
The Ops-Core NOMAD System is a one-size-fits-all head harness engineered to provide a stable, comfortable, and secure platform for mounting night vision and visual augmentation devices. Available in black, the system is designed for Global SOF, Close Combat Forces and law enforcement officersoperating in low-visibility, covert, or jungle environments where traditional helmets are impractical or unnecessary. The NOMAD system delivers mission-ready performance in a compact, collapsible form factor without the weight or bulk of a helmet system.
“We designed the NOMAD System to give operators a lightweight, low-profile solution without sacrificing stability,” said Peter Harbeck, SOF Segment Director at Gentex Corporation. “Across austere environments and varied mission-sets, Special Operations Forces need a comfortable, stable NVG platform that collapses and stows easily when a helmet is not practical.”
The NOMAD System combines Ops-Core’s advanced fit technologies to deliver full-helmet–level stability in a lightweight, low-profile design. Its LockDown® Cable Occ-Dial® System ensures a silent, micro-adjustable fit for quick on/off and fit fine tuning, while the Head-Loc® Flex Retention System allows the strap to be worn under or over the chin for comfort or maximum stability. An Integrated Rear Mount Strap enables immediate attachment of battery packs or counterweights, keeping the system balanced and comfortable even with heavier night vision devices.
Additional features include elastic webbing loops for convenient cable management and foliage attachment for low-visibility environments, an Ops-Core Modular Bungee Shroud with integrated bungee retention, and removable comfort pads for easy maintenance. The Ops-Core NOMAD System is proudly assembled in the USA and Berry Compliant, ensuring supply chain reliability and quality assurance.
