G-Form has inked an additional Other Transaction Authority Agreement for Prototype (OTAp) with the U.S. Army Development Command, Soldier Center (DEVCOM SC), the Army’s tech-enabled solutions provider.
The $3 million agreement follows the $1.2 million OTAp awarded to the protective gear and technology brand in 2023 to develop improved shock-attenuation products for knee, elbow and head protection.
The latest G-Form OTAp is to fund research and development of a prototype that will improve the blunt impact performance of the US Army’s combat helmets while improving long-duration comfort for soldiers.
G-Form will use its proprietary rate-dependent protection technology, SmartFlex, in combination with three-dimensional (3D) printed lattice structures to design and develop a prototype for an impact liner system in helmets that will mitigate forces that contribute to traumatic brain injuries, improve comfort and warfighter survivability.
“We are extremely excited about initiating this critically important project to design and develop field protection systems for combat helmets which deliver next-level performance combined with significantly improved comfort for our US Army warfighters,” stated Glen “Gava” Giovanucci, CEO, G-Form, LLC.
