Advanced Battlefield Communications System in Operations and Training

We proposed a novel and unique headset based on advanced digital signal processing and other new technologies as the next-generation military headset. The headset with the proposed technologies fulfills all the objectives of this SBIR topic in terms of hearing protection, enhanced situational awareness, clear two-way communication, speech intelligibility, battery life, and costs. The new headset will significantly enhance the performance of military personal in combat and reduce training time. It will also improve personal safety through novel situational awareness. The deliverables of Phase II Base will be six (6) prototypes for lab and military evaluations. The deliverables of Phase II Option will be six (6) product level headsets with further improved performances based on the feedback of the field evaluations.
