Busch PROtective® AMP-1 TP Ballistic Helmet / DEA-FBI Protocol 2019

The Busch PROtective AMP-1 TP is a premium ballistic helmet developed for military, law enforcement, and special operations personnel operating in high-threat environments. As the first ballistic helmet to successfully pass the DEA-FBI Ballistic Helmet Protocol 2019, it combines NIJ IIIA+ and VPAM 3 ballistic protection with exceptional backface deformation performance. Designed for demanding tactical applications, including close-quarters operations, the AMP-1 TP delivers advanced protection without compromising modularity or wearer comfort.

Certified to DEA-FBI Ballistic Helmet Protocol 2019

The AMP-1 TP is the first ballistic helmet to successfully meet the requirements of the DEA-FBI Ballistic Helmet Protocol 2019. This demanding test protocol evaluates not only ballistic resistance but also the helmet's ability to minimize backface deformation following impact. The result is a helmet engineered for users operating in environments where maximum protection is required.

Exceptional Backface Deformation Performance

According to the manufacturer, the helmet achieved zero projectile penetration during testing while maintaining average backface deformation values below 4 mm. Reducing impact energy transfer to the wearer is a critical aspect of modern ballistic protection, making this performance particularly noteworthy.

NIJ IIIA+ and VPAM 3 Ballistic Protection

The helmet meets NIJ IIIA+ and VPAM 3 protection requirements, providing defense against a wide range of handgun threats while maintaining practical weight and comfort characteristics for extended operational use.

Modular Platform for Mission-Specific Equipment

Integrated Picatinny accessory rails provide mounting interfaces for lights, cameras, communication systems, and other operational equipment. Depending on mission requirements, the helmet can also be equipped with an NVG shroud and hook-and-loop accessory panels for attaching battery packs, counterweights, identification markers, and night vision accessories.

Speed Connect System (SCS)

The Speed Connect System allows compatible visors to be attached or removed quickly without tools. The system enables rapid configuration changes and simplifies adaptation to evolving operational requirements.

Designed for Extended Operational Use

The interior features removable impact and comfort pads, a four-point retention system, and an adjustable dial-fit suspension system for precise sizing and secure helmet retention. The One Size Fits All design supports deployment across teams while simplifying equipment management.
