Racal Acoustics and INVISIO have announced the launch of their first joint product for the military: the RA5100 tactical communication headset. According to a press release from INVISIO, the headset has been designed as a solution for hybrid missions, protecting troops from the most extreme continuous and impulse noise exposure, whether in a vehicle or on foot.

The new RA5100 offers:

  • Digital Active Noise Reduction (ANR) mode (SNR 30dB) – to maximise noise attenuation from constant high-level noise, such as when operating in or around vehicles.
  • Situational awareness and hear-through mode, including adjustable volume control for extra enhanced hearing in quiet environments, with digital noise compression providing protection from high impulse noises.
  • Dual hearing protection mode (SNR 41dB) – for extreme noise environments.
