The use of embedded GPS gains weight, space and power consumption
savings. The system allows the operator to monitor and control
two radios, computer and/or an intercom system simultaneously.
Similar to Silynx'
QuietOps headset, C4OPS also integrates automatic hearing
protection against impulse and steady state battlefield noise.
The C4OPS self adapts to external noise and provides hearing
protection based on the type and level of noise. The two radios
are remotely controlled by voice or via 'push to talk' (PTY)
from a remote control unit mounted on the weapon's picatinny
rail. Users can activate PTT, select channels and set the
volume level while keeping their hands on the weapon. The
headset functions are controlled by audible voice prompts
indications, indicating headset mode status, radio channel
number and other system features. Voice prompts alert the
user if a proper earplug seal was achieved to ensure optimal
hearing protection. The new headset system will operate after
being submerged in seawater to a depth of 20 meters.
Silynx' current headset 'QuietOps' is in use with various
users in the US, NATO and by Israel's Special Forces.
