transferring messages directly from the soldier helmet to the inner ear. It is being developed as part of Company-funded research which aims to reduce the burden on the dismounted soldier through wearable technology.
Soldiers need to be able to receive audio communications to maximise their awareness and understanding of the challenging environments they are working in,
whilst also protecting themselves from extremely loud noises such as gunfire. To address these conflicting requirements
With this system, the soldiers can safeguard their hearing with ear protectors whilst still clearly receiving military voice communications,
