The TNVC Mohawk MK1 Gen. 2 is a full-spectrum counterweight and storage system for modern combat helmets. Incorporating operator feedback and our staff’s own battlefield experience, we designed the Mohawk MK1 Gen. 2 as a highly functional, modular accessory for all modern warfighters. It provides useful storage and retention for mission-essential gear and attaches with Velcro to any currently fielded ballistic or bump helmet.
The Mohawk MK1 is packed with useful features for armed professionals and civilian hunters alike. No other helmet accessory system offers this level of versatility. Designed by TNVC staff, the Mohawk is manufactured in the USA and is Berry Amendment compliant.
FEATURES & BENEFITS
Signal Strobe Attachment & Retention A vertically oriented Mohawk strip is the centerpiece of the design. It features a Velcro loop surface that accepts all currently issued or fielded signal strobe devices. The continuous loop strip allows for precise placement of the device on the rear or top of the helmet. It also provides enough room to attach a blast sensor device. An adjustable shock-cord net provides secondary retention for the devices without limiting access to their controls. This is important when performing high-stress activities such as airborne operations and high-angle work. Don’t wear a strobe light? No problem. The shock-cord net provides excellent storage for a tourniquet—easily accessible and always handy.
Versatile Storage Compartment An ambidextrous-access, low-profile storage compartment helps resolve the classic counterweight debate. Some argue that any added weight should consist of useful mission-essential gear. Others argue that once operators begin using that mission-essential gear, they end up losing the counterweight and defeating its purpose. Counterweights have historically been designed for one side or the other. But why can’t the operator have both? Now they can. The main storage compartment features two elastic pockets that hold removable, flexible lead-weight strips (4 strips are included), providing 1 pound of counterweight. The rest of the compartment is occupied by a removable battery organizer tray that holds up to 6 cells. Operators can choose to use just the weights, just the batteries, or both. But that’s not all! When the weights and battery tray are removed, the Mohawk storage compartment perfectly fits the low-profile “summer” battery box for the GPNVG-18.
Ready-Access Batteries Two elastic loops sit atop the main compartment, providing immediate-access battery storage. These loops allow operators to grab two batteries without ripping open Velcro. They also provide secondary functionality by holding a chemlight for nighttime airborne operations or field identification while hunting.
Headset Cable Management The Mohawk MK1 Gen. 2 has two Velcro strips at the bottom for bundling and storing communication headset cables. This extremely useful feature solves one of the most annoying issues facing operators. The headset cable that plugs into your body-mounted PTT is often left dangling, where it can snag on everything during training or helmet storage. If you have dual comms—one for the team radio and one to plug into the vehicle radio—one of the cables will be left dangling when you dismount the vehicle. The Mohawk MK1 Gen. 2 cable-storage straps stow those pesky cables, protecting them and giving you freedom of head movement.
Secondary Retention The Mohawk MK1 Gen. 2 features two loops on either side for routing 550 cord or shock cord. This provides secondary retention for the entire system during high-intensity activities. Velcro does not provide 100% retention on a helmet. The Mohawk MK1 Gen. 2 allows the operator to run cord from the system to the rear helmet bolts or rail. Doing so keeps your Mohawk MK1 Gen. 2 securely in place regardless of battlefield conditions.
User-Feedback-Driven Gen. 2 Features Lighter-weight 500D Cordura nylon material compared to the 1000D Gen. 1 versions, color- and pattern-matched Velcro loop material on all versions, improved cable retention for helmet-mounted communications, and a built-in cord-lock retainer to keep the bungee retainer from hanging loose.
The TNVC Mohawk MK1 Gen. 2 is the most feature-rich helmet accessory system available. But if you use an ANVIS or Ground Warrior Battery Pack, check out the Mohawk MK2 Gen. 2. If you are using the BNVD battery pack with the AN/PVS-31/31A, please check out our Mohawk MK3 Gen. 2.
