New Bose T5 Tactical Headset

Thursday, November 29th, 2012

Bose introduced the new T5 Tactical Headset at AUSA.

Designed to fit under a variety of combat helmets, the new T5 is engineered to double the amount of time users can be exposed to tactical vehicle noise safely, compared to previous Bose models by leveraging over 30 years of noise cancellation technology. The T5 offers continuous and impulse noise reduction. It monitors sound inside the earcup and creates a correction signal to fade background distractions allowing the wearer to hear more radio comms without having to turn up the volume. The noise cancellation turns on automatically when connected to a powered intercom, and for dismounted operations away from the vehicle, a new battery power feature uses a simple on/off switch.

A cable-mounted control module sets the volume and permits ambient sound to be heard at three different listening levels without taking off the headset. An integrated push-to-talk switch activates voice communication through the noise-cancelling microphone, and an on-and-off switch offers intercom, listening-only setting or radio communication setting.

Available in single or dual comm versions, the dual comm variant offers smart audio distribution, which distributes audio automatically to the earcups according to the connected sources. In the most common use cases, the primary source (vehicle intercom and radio) is in both ears while the portable radio is present at a slightly lower volume in the left ear. When the control module is connected to two portable radios, the signals are split with one radio in the left earcup and one radio in the right.

I thought some of you jumpers might be interested in this parachutist helmet from MSA Gallet exhibited by Airborne Systems. It is a derivative of a Gallet helo helmet.

The Merline Roll Up Packable Backpack from Tactical & Survival Specialties Inc is unlike anything I’ve seen in the tactical arena. Boasting a 1680 cu in load capacity it is very lightweight and rolls up into a small package when not in use and can be stowed in your other gear until needed.

Not only does it integrate a vertical daisy chain along the back to attach gear but it also incorporates an internal hydration bladder sleeve as well as a fully functional lid with zippered pocket and dual mesh water bottle pockets on either side at the hem.

As you can see the Princeton Tec Quad Tactical is well suited to any spec NVG mount. In this case, it’s the Wilcox Ind mount for the Team Wendy EXFIL bump helmet.

The Parachutist High Altitude Thermal Suit from Airborne Systems does exactly what its name implies. It’s cold at high altitude and parachutists can find themselves in free fall or under canopy for long periods of time in those conditions. This suit is designed to allow a parachutists to safely free fall and then survive the cold.

Gentex Mission Configurable Helmet Cover Follow Up

Thursday, October 25th, 2012

Since some folks didn’t believe that the Mission Configurable Helmet Cover is real, I wanted to follow up with this video shot yesterday at AUSA.

This thing is ingenious. It allows you to take a standard, slick ACH (of which there are well over 1 million out there) and, once you have mounted the Mission Configurable Helmet Cover, you have an Ops-Core VAS Shroud and ARC Rail mounted on the helmet. Need to go back to a slick helmet for an admin jump or to turn it in? Take the cover off.

Gentex tells me you will be able to order the cover by size and pattern and then specify which accessories you want mounted including color of accessories and whether or not you want pile tape on the cover.

AUSA – Ceradyne MOHAWK

Thursday, October 25th, 2012

We recently published an article on the latest version of the MOdular HArd Wired Kitted (MOHAWK) helmet from Ceradyne and comms partner Threat4. It’s a boltless design manufactured using their advanced Seamless Ballistic technology developed for the Enhanced Combat Helmet and integrates a modular data and power bus bar system. Essentially, this is a powered helmet with multiple mounting points on the helmet’s shell.
