B5 Systems- HEARS Adapter

B5 Systems is getting back to their roots as an aerospace company with the Hand-held Electronic Audio Radio interface System.

Developed for the Air Force Research Laboratory, the HEARS family of adapters provide radio transmission recording (3-5 hours) and playback for debriefing. Data downloads via a Bluetooth v3.0 connection. Charging is via micro-USB.

This model connects inline with standard radio cables via 6-pin connection, but both hardwired and Bluetooth variants are also available.

    B5 Systems is a solid performer, huge fan of there stocks. It does not surprise me that they would add an item like this to their product line.

    Wut? Seriously? Where did they even find a stack or chip for that!?

    I wonder if they chose a “military approved” chip and its almost certainly vulnerable to blueborne or some other ridiculous stack exploit that the consumer industry fixed years ago. Hopefully that button on the side is a hardwired radio on button.
