Silynx recently started offering the C4OPS headset system with MultiCam bags, Compact Control Units, and wireless Push-to-talk modules. While the new color scheme is the most obvious enhancement to the popular C4OPS headset system, it is hardly the only improvement. Silynx maintains continuous contact with their customer base to solicit feedback based on real world use. Software updates such as those below are constantly pushed out to the field.

The enhanced PC programming software makes setting system parameters a snap. The system is now GPS enabled giving the MBITR on board Blue Force Tracking. However, unlike traditional BFT systems, C4OPS does not send automatic GPS locations but rather can be set to send them along with transmissions as well as by time or distance settings. The GPS information can also be provided to the operator on demand through the headphones via a selectable synthetic voice. Additionally, the C4OPS systems can be configured to transmit pre-set text messages through the radio.

Not only have the ear buds been improved with the ability to accept a custom ear mold, but they also now come with a storage pouch. They also offer venting for MFF parachute operations.

In addition to the software and earbud enhancements, Silynx also offers a couple of radio battery cables that can be used by anyone who employs the MBITR. The variant above adapts the BA-5590 battery to the MBITR to allow the battery to be stored remotely from the radio. This is especially important for lithium batteries as they can easily combust if they take fire. Below is an adapter for the standard MBITR battery and offers additional load carriage options.

If you’ll be attending the Warrior Expo – East in Virgina Beach on 15-16 July be sure to stop by booth #111 and check out the C4OPS headset system.

Soldier Systems Daily is proud to welcome Silynx Communications, Inc. as a new sponsor. Silynx is a world leader in miniature, software defined, tactical hearing protection, communication headsets. Their headsets are used by elements of the US Special Operations Command (USSOCOM), US Army, USMC as well as international SOF. Silynx specializes in the design, development, and manufacturing of advanced and innovative software based noise protection communication headsets. Their name really sums up who and what they are – Silynx combines SI for silent communications and LYNX, a solitary wild cat that is known for its strength, precision, and stealthiness.

The C4OPS is Silynx’s premier headset featuring 20m immersibility and an excellent man machine interface. The user receives voice prompts from the system in a clear female voice and can monitor up to 3 radios/intercoms simultaneously using the same headset. Additionally, the C4OPS provides hearing protection (ANR & INR) and hearing enhancement. The modular system is designed for ease of repair without putting the entire system down. The heart of the system is the Main Control Box and this allows each user to customize the system to their requirements, whether that means wearing an Eagle headset, Peltor ear muffs, the standard foamies that come with the system or custom molds. When the system is only connected to one radio, the user has dual hearing through both ears but if the user connects to dual comms he receives primary in the left ear and secondary in the right. If the user then connects to an intercom/3rd radio then the user monitors this third connection via both ears. The C4OPS is a PC programmable system which allows the user to customize his system and integrate upgrades as they are produced. Check out the “Build Your Own” web page.

For us, two things really stand out about Silynx. First, their system is software based so changes can be rapidly made to the system without having to purchase new components and other vendor’s components can be integrated into the system.
