P/N: OPS-RAILINK-BUNDLE-2: Ops-Core RAILINK® Bundle w/ Battery Pack+, SureFire HL2-A Light, Princeton Tec RAILINK Switch MPLS, & 2x Core Survival HEL-STAR Rail Strobe. Kit Available in Tan or Black. Everything included is compatible with all FAST High Cut Helmet systems.

The RAILINK® Powered and Data-Enabled ARC RAILS for FAST® Helmet Systems is the first of its kind power and data solution. The backbone of a rapidly developing, scalable ecosystem that powers & connects your headborne system. Designed & tested with extensive US Military user input, RAILINK is now proving its worth in the field.

With RAILINK, an operator can power a series of uniquely developed accessories & a variety of Visual Augmentation Systems (VAS) that allow them to send & receive real-time information digitally. Its open architecture enables rapid integration of personal protective and situational awareness equipment.

Ops-Core is the leader in total headborne integrated solutions for the Global SOF and Elite LE communities, w/ a reputation for continually setting industry standards. RAILINK is no exception. Its innovative design allows electronic accessories to mount, power on, & communicate with each other, while enabling instant feedback to the operator & connecting the operator to others on the mission. The results of ongoing R&D efforts will provide enhanced sensory feedback, threat detection, and the visual representation of shared and received data.

RAILINK ARC RAILS –Combine the industry standard dovetail track for mechanical accessory attachment with an integrated power and data transmission network.

BATTERY PACK + – The centralized single point of power for the system, the Battery Pack + unit enables the transfer of data and power across the system and includes a coulomb counter that delivers charge state information back to your VAS system and an accelerometer that enables the powering down of your NVG system when you are not using it.

POWER & DATA FROM A SINGLE SOURCE – Dedicated circuits provide power and high bandwidth data to VAS/NVG and accessory systems, all powered from a single source.

SMART NODES FOR MECHANICAL & ELECTRONIC CONNECTIONS – Accessories are connected to the system via a system of Smart Nodes providing mechanical attachment as well as electronic power and low speed data connection.

UNIVERSAL VAS/NVG INTERFACE – The universal RAILINK VAS/NVG power interface allows the use of a broad array of night vision systems, including the latest systems that incorporate fused thermal channels and require power and data to operate. Dedicated cables routed within the RAILINK system streamline fitment by removing the need for externally routed battery pack cables and reducing undesirable snag hazards.

CONNECTIVITY ACROSS SYSTEMS – Using a communications protocol, power and data are routed through the network from node to node and to the battery pack plus, which can serve as a controller to share information around the helmet and supports sharing across a network to other soldier systems.

BACKWARD AND FORWARD COMPATIBLE – RAILINK has been designed to be backward and forward compatible with all FAST high cut helmet systems.

BULK REDUCTION AND REDUCED FATIGUE – With VAS systems and all accessories drawing power from the single source of RAILINK, the accessories themselves become much smaller and can also be mounted in closer proximity to the center of gravity of the helmet, with a resultant lowering of fatigue to the wearer during extended operations.

MAXIMIZE SPACE AND SIMPLICITY – Mounting outside of the ARC rail dovetail track means more open space for other accessories. Drawing from a single power source means added simplicity for the user, eliminating the need for managing multiple types of batteries per device.

Features/Benefits/Options:

  • Provides power to the RAILINK system, accessories and connected VAS devices.
  • Integrated coulomb Counter that delivers charge state information to data-enabled VAS devices.
  • Embedded accelerometer interprets relative position of NVG device to power down when not in use.
  • Designed for optimal use with 6 AA Energizer Ultimate lithium batteries.

The SureFire HL2-A Light provides either white light or infrared outputs. Two levels of illumination are available in each mode, with a selectable low-level/high-level for different scenarios. The sleek design fits easily into the RAILINK system and offers a swivel head that can be rotated up to 90 degrees above the horizon or 25 degrees below, for a total of 115 degrees of adjustability. Control buttons are easy to locate and manipulate with gloved hands. At just 20 grams, the SureFire HL2-A is a lightweight and powerful performer.  

Princeton Tec™ Switch® MPLS is a low light/IR directional lighting solution that works with the RAILINK system. Weighing in at only 13 grams with an easy-to-operate, glove-friendly switch, it gives the end user a fail-safe lighting solution for all their low light and IR lighting needs.

The Core Survival® HEL-STAR Rail Strobe® is a helmet-rail mounted visible (white) and IR synchronized strobe marker designed to install on both sides of the helmet—leaving the top of the helmet clear for reduced snag hazards and increased mobility. Created to integrate specifically into the Ops-Core RAILINK system, the HEL-STAR rail strobe draws power from the RAILINK'S centralized Battery Pack+, allowing a compact, lightweight design that delivers all the performance you would expect from a Core Survival product.

  • Small Footprint with Four Settings - High and low visibility in both White and IR. Built with CORE Survival's patented technology for maximum performance in a low-profile, snag-resistant package.
  • Tactile Operation - Switches are designed for positive operation by a gloved hand while the helmet is donned. Patented double-switch blocks inadvertent switching between visible and IR functions.
  • Left & Right-Hand Installation - Strobe modules attach to both the left and right side of the helmet-mounted rails. Communication to synchronize function between the strobes is achieved via the RAILINK system's data capability.
  • Familiar Sliding Button Operation - Settings for Off, Dim and Bright operation for both the Visible and IR functions.
